BS EN 60404-2:1998+A1:2008 Magnetic materials — Part 2: Methods of measurement of the magnetic properties of electrical steel strip and sheet by means of an Epstein frame
BS 6404 Pt.2:198594/341190 DC-1994BS EN 60404-2:1998
Scope
This part of IEC 404 is applicable to grain oriented
and non-oriented electrical sheet and strip for a.c.
measurements of magnetic properties at
frequencies up to 400 Hz and for d.c. magnetic
measurements.
The object of this part is to define the general
principles and the technical details of the
measurement of the magnetic properties of
electrical steel sheet and strip by means of an
Epstein frame.
The Epstein frame is applicable to test specimens
obtained from electrical steel sheets and strips of
any grade. The a.c. magnetic characteristics are
determined for sinusoidal induced voltages, for
specified peak values of magnetic polarization and
for a specified frequency.
The measurements are to be made at an ambient
temperature of (23 ± 5) °C on test specimens which
have first been demagnetized.
Measurements at higher frequencies are to be made
in accordance with IEC 404-10.
NOTE Throughout this standard the term “magnetic
polarization” is used as defined in IEC 50(221). In some
standards of the IEC 404 series, the term “magnetic flux density”
was used.
