Description / Abstract:
This practice covers sampling procedures and test practices for
determination of various magnetic properties of both soft and hard
magnetic materials.
This practice may be used either in conjunction with, or
independent of, the standard test methods and materials
specifications under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A06. In the
former situation, the sampling and testing procedures listed herein
shall not supersede those found in the individual test methods and
materials specifications. In the latter situation, the sampling and
testing procedures listed herein shall strictly apply.
The values and equations stated in customary (cgs-emu and
inch-pound) or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard.
Within this standard, SI units are shown in brackets except for the
sections concerning calculations where there are separate sections
for the respective unit systems. The values stated in each system
may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used
independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems
may result in nonconformance with this standard.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
