Abstract
The rotational contactless inductive measurement technique has been developed to measure the electrical conductivity of liquid metals. This method is based on the phenomena when a conductor material rotates in a magnetic field, circulating eddy currents are induced and generate a damping torque proportional to the electrical resistivity of the material. The technique was tested to measure the conductivity of five conductors and one low melting composite (LMA-158).
