The MYA 2.4Y microbalance manufactured by Radwag Wagi Elektroniczne, Poland, was used to perform mass measurements. The weighing system was adjusted for mass indication using a certified mass standard, and for magnetic susceptibility indication using a certified magnetic susceptibility standard. The volume of each analysed soil sample was 3.93 cm 3 and was similar to the volume and the size of the magnetic susceptibility standard. The research was carried out for 10 soil samples with a magnetic susceptibility range varying from 20 to 1600x10 -8 m 3 kg -1. The soil samples contained technogenic magnetic particles and particles of natural magnetite of geogenic origin. The study was performed for a field of 2 mT.}, type={Article}, title={Susceptometer in soil magnetic susceptibility studies}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/122774/PDF/08.pdf}, doi={10.24425/mms.2022.138550}, keywords={magnetic susceptibility, soils, analysis, mass measurement}, }
