  2. What is the Difference Between "Surface Gauss" and "Manufacturer's Gauss"?

    What is the Difference Between "Surface Gauss" and "Manufacturer's Gauss"?
    Surface Gauss Surface gauss refers to the gauss measurement at the surface of a magnet. Magnets can have vastly different strengths between the center of the magnet and its surface. The surface gauss rating is an accurate tool to be used to determine how strong the magnet will really be when it is used. Scientists who utilize gauss ratings will...

    How are "Gauss" and "Pull Force" Related?
    You've probably heard of the terms "gauss" and "pull force" when describing a magnetic field. These terms are related, but different, which makes it difficult to understand the difference. No need to worry, we've outlined everything you need to know about gauss and pull force in this blog post. Let's dive in! Gauss Gauss is a unit of measurement that...
  4. What is Gauss?

    What is Gauss?
    What is Gauss? Gauss is a unit of measurement that is used to describe the strength of a magnetic field. Gauss is named after Carl Friedrich Gauss, a German physicist and mathematician who developed a way to measure the strength of a magnet in relation to mass, length and time. Why is Gauss Important? People who are purchasing magnets, including...
