In order to measure the magnetic saturation flux density of a sample material, a first and a second sample holder are symmetrically positioned on the same side of a cylindrical permanent magnet. Coils are placed around the sample holders and the cylindrical permanent magnet is rotated. The signals induced in the coils in the absence of a magnetic material in one of the sample holders are applied to an amplifier in such a manner as to provide a null input signal. When a sample is placed in one of the sample holders, the magnetic saturation flux density can be measured. The present device finds particular application to determining the concentration of a magnetic particles dispersed in a (coating) fluid. The fluid can flow through a sample holder for measurement. In addition, a reference fluid can flow through the second sample holder for better process control. The geometry of the sample holder carrying a fluid material is specified to increase the accuracy of the measurements.
