- Permeameters measure the magnetic characteristics of a specimen.
- Gaussmeters measure the strength of a magnet in units called Gauss units.
- Magnetometers measure in Gauss or arbitrary units for comparing magnets.
- Pull Testers measure the strength of a magnet's pulling power in pounds, kilograms, or other force units.
