Magnetic materials - Permanent magnet (magnetically hard) materials - Methods of measurement of magnetic properties

Publication date:   Aug 20, 2004

Scope

This European standard specifies the method of measurement of the magnetic flux density, magnetic polarization and the magnetic field strength and also the determination of the demagnetization curve and recoil line of permanent magnet materials, such as those specified in IEC 404-8-1, the properties of which are presumed homogeneous throughout their volume.
The performance of a magnetic system is not only dependent on the properties of the permanent magnet material but also on the dimensions of the system, the air-gap and other elements of the magnetic circuit. The methods described in this standard refer to the measurement on the magnetic properties in a closed magnetic circuit simulating a ring.
