BS EN 60404-4:1997+A2:2008

What is BS EN 60404-4+A2- Magnetic materials about?  

BS EN 60404-4+A2  is a British standard on methods of measuring the d.c. magnetic properties. BS EN 60404-4+A2 is part of the IEC 60404 series on magnetic materials. BS EN 60404-4+A2 is a guide on the methods of measuring the d.c. magnetic properties of magnetically soft materials iron and steel in a closed magnetic circuit using either the ring or the permeameter methods. 

BS EN 60404-4+A2 outlines two methods: 

• The ring method, particularly for magnetic field strengths of up to10kA/m; 
• The permeameter method for magnetic field strengths in the range1kA/m to 200kA/m. 

Note: The measurement of coercivity in an open magnetic circuit is specified in IEC 60404-7.2. 

Who is BS EN 60404-4+A2- Magnetic materials for? 

BS EN 60404-4+A2 magnetic materials is useful for: 

• Mining Industry 
• Food production manufacturers 
• Pharmaceuticals manufacturers 
• Plastic and Glass industries 
• Industrial Ceramics 

Why should you use BS EN 60404-4+A2- Magnetic materials?  

Magnets protects the equipment from the damages and also separates heavy metals from the residue. BS EN 60404-4+A2 guidelines provide an outline on the measurement of the magnetic field strength and flux density. Using  BS EN 60404-4+A2 guidance can increase the credibility of the equipment and safety as well.
