"Lbs pull" is proportional to the end area of the magnet times the B field in gauss, so they are not equivalent units. Which you use depends on what you want to use the magnet for.vmars said:Please;
12.5 kiloGauss = how many lbs pull .
I want buy a bunch of 3/8" x 1/4" NEODYMIUM magnets.
Some sellers designate Gauss, other lbs pull.
Also, any tips on where to buy?
Thanks!
Magnetism is a natural force that causes certain materials to attract or repel each other. It is caused by the alignment of electrons within a material.
12.5 kiloGauss (kG) is a unit of measurement for magnetic field strength. It is equivalent to 12,500 Gauss, which is a measurement of magnetic flux density.
12.5 kG is a relatively strong magnetic field strength. For comparison, the Earth's magnetic field at its surface is about 0.5 Gauss, while a typical refrigerator magnet has a strength of about 50 Gauss.
The lbs pull of 12.5 kG depends on the size and shape of the magnet. It is a measure of the amount of force it takes to pull a magnet away from a metal surface. This information is typically provided by the manufacturer.
No, 12.5 kG is not considered harmful to humans. The Earth's magnetic field is much stronger and we are constantly exposed to it without any negative effects. However, strong magnetic fields can interfere with certain electronic devices and should be used with caution around them.
