Metal Detector Test Pieces & Test Cards

Metal detector test wands are the everyday tool for verifying that your metal detector or x-ray system rejects contaminants of a known size. Each wand is made to order with a certified ferrous, non-ferrous or stainless steel 316 sphere, color coded red, green or blue for quick identification, and engraved with the reference number from its Certificate of Conformity. The body is an FDA and USDA approved material built not to shed. Choose the compact 2" x 3/8" test wand or the longer 6" x 3/8" test wand in sizes from 0.5mm to 6.5mm, or the 5" x 1/2" test wand in sizes from 0.5mm to 9.5mm. For long or hard-to-reach runs, see flexible test whips, or compare test cards, test balls and all metal detector test pieces. Need a size not listed?

Metal detector and x-ray test cards give you a flat, easy-to-place standard for verifying your detection system with packaged or conveyed product. Each card is made to order with a certified contaminant of the size you specify and comes with a Certificate of Conformity. In rigid acetal, choose ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel 316 test cards, the soda lime glass test card or the aluminum test card. For x-ray systems, laminated test cards use a heavy-duty 10 mil laminate. For wet, humid and hot environments, thermoform test cards seal the contaminant in clear food grade PETG, in metal, glass, ceramic and aluminum versions.

Metal detector test cylinders and pucks give you a solid, compact standard for verifying your detection system, built from a food-contact approved material that will not shed. Each is made to order with a certified contaminant of the size you specify and comes with a Certificate of Conformity. Choose 1" metal detector test cylinders in ferrous, non-ferrous or stainless steel 316 from 0.5mm to 6.5mm, color coded x-ray and metal detector test pucks in the same three metals from 0.5mm to 3.5mm, or the soda lime glass test puck for x-ray systems from 1.0mm to 3.5mm. For gravity-fed lines, see test balls, or compare test wands, test cards and all metal detector test pieces. Need a size not listed? Request a quote.

Metal detector test balls are made for gravity-fed and pipeline detection systems, where a flat card or wand will not travel with the product. Our 1" metal detector test balls are molded into a 1 inch sphere that works with any gravity-assisted system, in a material built not to shed. Each ball is made to order with a certified ferrous, non-ferrous or stainless steel 316 contaminant from 0.5mm to 6.5mm, color coded so the contaminant type is clear at a glance, and supplied with a Certificate of Conformity. For conveyor lines, see test wands, test cards and test cylinders and pucks, or use flexible test whips for long runs. Browse all metal detector test pieces, see how to get a copy of your certificate, or request a quote for a custom size.

Metal detector test whips, also called flexi test sticks, let you place a certified contaminant deep into a detector aperture or along a long run and pull it back out. Our 20" x-ray and metal detector test whips pair a 1/2" x 3" Delrin handle with a flexible 1/4" polyethylene tube that houses the contaminant, so the long tail is easy to handle and retrieve. Each whip is made to order with a ferrous, non-ferrous or stainless steel 316 contaminant from 0.5mm to 5.0mm and comes with a Certificate of Conformity. For standard conveyor checks, see rigid test wands and test cards, or use test balls on gravity-fed lines.

Ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel 316 test pieces cover the three metal contaminants most detection programs verify against. Every piece is made to order with a certified sphere in the metal and size you specify, color coded by metal type, and supplied with a Certificate of Conformity. Choose the format that suits your line: test wands in three lengths, rigid acetal test cards, laminated test cards for x-ray systems, thermoform test cards for wet and hot environments, test cylinders and pucks, test balls for gravity-fed systems and flexible test whips. Sizes start at 0.5mm. Testing an x-ray system for other contaminants? See soda lime glass, ceramic and aluminum test pieces, or browse all metal detector test pieces.

Soda lime glass test pieces let you verify that your x-ray inspection system detects glass, a contaminant a metal detector cannot find. Each piece is made to order with a certified soda lime glass sphere of the size you specify and comes with a Certificate of Conformity. Choose the rigid acetal soda lime glass test card from 1.0mm to 9.0mm, the thermoform soda lime glass card sealed in clear food grade PETG for wet and humid environments, also from 1.0mm to 9.0mm, or the compact soda lime glass test puck from 1.0mm to 3.5mm. Complete your x-ray program with ceramic and aluminum test pieces, add ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel 316 standards for metal, or browse all metal detector and x-ray test pieces. See how to get a copy of your certificate, or request a quote for a custom size.

Aluminum test pieces let you verify that your x-ray or metal detection system catches aluminum, a low-density metal that needs its own standard. Each piece is made to order with a certified aluminum contaminant of the size you specify and comes with a Certificate of Conformity. Choose the rigid acetal aluminum test card, color coded green, from 1.0mm to 8.0mm, or the thermoform aluminum card sealed in clear food grade PETG for wet and humid environments, from 1.0mm to 4.5mm. Complete your x-ray program with soda lime glass and ceramic test pieces, add ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel 316 standards, or browse all metal detector and x-ray test pieces. See how to get a copy of your certificate, or request a quote for a custom size.

Ceramic test pieces let you verify that your x-ray inspection system detects ceramic, a contaminant a metal detector cannot find. Our thermoform ceramic test card seals a certified ceramic contaminant in clear food grade PETG, forming a tight, solid structure that stands up to wet and humid environments. Each card is made to order in the size you specify, from 1.0mm to 9.5mm, and comes with a Certificate of Conformity. Complete your x-ray program with soda lime glass and aluminum test pieces, add ferrous, non-ferrous and stainless steel 316 standards for metal, or browse all metal detector and x-ray test pieces.
