What is the Strength of Q Magnets?

The intensity of magnetic fields is measured in Gauss. 

Gauss can be a difficult topic to comprehend, first off, there’s internal gauss, based on the grade of magnetic material. All magnets will have a grade, after that the size of the magnet will determine the strength. 

Q magnets are made from N45 (45 MGOe) grade with an internal gauss rating of 13,500 gauss. 

But there are extra complications with measuring the strength of magnets as it will depend on the location of the surface you take the measurement and seeing magnetic fields are a vector quantity, in what direction of the field you are taking the measurement. 

Then also the size of the magnet, after all the strength of a static magnet is made up of the vectoral sum of all the unpaired electrons spinning and orbiting the nucleus. 

So the smallest magnet might have a gauss rating ranging from -1,000 to 1,000 Gauss (-0.1 to 0.1 Tesla), while the larger magnets from -4,000 to 4,000 Gauss (-0.4 to 0.4 Tesla). 

Also, it’s the complexity of the field of Q magnets that gives them their therapeutic effect. Effects not shared with common bipolar magnets.

You can find the Pull Force of each individual Q magnet on the Products page. The strongest Q Magnet is the thickest QF28-6. However, strongest does not always mean most effective. If you look at the product listing, there is a comparative feature called the "Penetration Depth". The painful nerve should be as close to the Penetration Depth for the Q magnet to have the maximum effect. So the thinner/smaller/lighter magnets will work better on soft tissue injuries, while the stronger magnets will penetrate to the joint.
