MAGNETIC TESTING (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Magnetic TestingThe work Of the National Bureau of Standards In magnetic testing includes the (a) investigation and development of testing methods, (b) testing of magnetic materials, and (c) investigations in the field of magnetic analysis.Investigations of testing methods are carried out for the purpose. Of determining the possibilities and limitations Of existing methods with particular reference to present requirements. The development Of new methods and apparatus is undertaken when possible if existing methods are found to be inadequate.Magnetic testing is done In connection with investigations involving the magnetic properties of materials. A small amount of magnetic testing is also done for the public. This service is limited in general to tests made for the purpose Of checking the accuracy of testing apparatus or for the settling of disputes arising from disagreement between different laboratories. Routine acceptance tests which can be made satisfactorily by commercial testing laboratories should not be requested except for special reasons acceptable to the Bureau. A fee Is charged for routine magnetic tests made for the public.In the field Of magnetic analysis, the Bureau is primarily concerned with the study Of possible relationships between the magnetic proper ties of materials and their other physical -properties with the end In view of aiding In the development of nondestructive methods of test ing. Some attention is also given to the design of special apparatus for the application of magnetic analysis In a practical way.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
