Abstract
The rotational contactless inductive measurement technique has been develop ed to measure the electrical conductivity of liquid metals. This method is based on the phenomena when a conductor material rotates in a magnetic fiel d, circulating eddy currents are induced and generate a damping torque prop ortional to the electrical resistivity of the material. The technique was t ested to measure the conductivity of five conductors and one low melting co mposite (LMA-158). (C) 1999 Kluwer Academic Publishers.
