This standard specifies methods, standards, instruments and calibration for measuring ferrite number. This standard is suitable for measuring the ferrite number in weld metal and cladding metal in the welded state. It is also applicable to the situation where all or part of the ferrite undergoes non-magnetic transformation after post-weld heat treatment. The methods specified in this standard are not applicable to the measurement of ferrite number in austenitic stainless steel castings and forgings.
