4 Types of devices

4.1 Portable electromagnets (AC1))

4.1.1 General

Hand-held portable electromagnets (yokes) produce a magnetic field between the two poles. (When testing
according to EN ISO 9934-1, DC electromagnets should only be used if agreed at enquiry and order stages).

Magnetization shall be determined by measuring the tangential field strength Ht at the centre of a line joining the
centres of the pole faces of the electromagnet with pole extenders where used. The electromagnet with a pole
spacing s is placed on a steel plate as shown in Figure 1. The plate shall have the dimensions (500 ± 25) mm x
(250 ± 13) mm x (10 ± 0.5) mm and shall be of steel conforming to C 22 (EN 10084)..

1) AC = alternative current, and DC = rectified current

 EN ISO 9934-3:2002 (E)

Periodic functional checks may be carried out either by the method described above or by a lift test. The
electromagnet shall be capable of supporting a steel plate or rectangular bar conforming to C 22 (EN 10084) and
having a minimum mass of 4,5 kg, with the magnet poles set at their recommended spacing. The major dimension
of the plate or bar shall be greater than the pole spacing s of the electromagnet

NOTE : To lift a steel plate with a mass of 4,5 kg requires a lifting force of 44 N.

 EN ISO 9934-3:2002 (E)

4.1.3 Minimum requirements

The following requirements shall be satisfied at an ambient temperature of 30 °C and at maximum output :

 duty cycle ≥ 10 %

 current 'ON' time ≥5s

 surface temperature of handle ≤ 40 °C

 tangential field strength at smax (see 4.1) ≥ 2 kA/m (RMS)

 lifting force ≥ 44 N

4.1.4 Additional requirements

The electromagnet shall be supplied with a power ON/OFF switch preferably mounted on the handle.

Generally electromagnets should be usable with one hand.

4.2 Current generators

Licensed Copy: Tom Magee, Howden Power, 02 June 2003, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI

Current generators are used to supply current for magnetizing equipment. A current generator is characterized by
the open circuit voltage U0, the short circuit current Ik and the rated current Ir (RMS-values).

The rated current Ir is defined as the maximum current for which the generator is rated at the duty cycle of 10 %
and for a current 'ON' time of 5 s if not otherwise specified.

The open circuit voltage U0 and the short circuit current Ik are derived from the load-characteristic of the generator
at maximum power (with any feed back controls disconnected). The load line of the generator may be derived by
connecting two widely different loads, such as different lengths of cable, in turn to the generator. For the first cable,
the current I1 through the cable and voltage U1 across the output terminals are measured and plotted, to give point
P1 on Figure 2. The process is repeated with a second load to give point P2. The load line is constructed by
drawing a straight line between P1 and P2. The open circuit voltage U0 and short circuit current Ik are then given by
the intercepts on the axes, as shown in Figure 2.

9.1 General

In connection with this standard, measurements are required for :

 determination of the equipment characteristics;

 checking inspection parameters.

13
 EN ISO 9934-3:2002 (E)

All electric and magnetic values should be specified and measured in RMS values (true). For unidirectional
waveforms the RMS-measurement shall take into account the DC-component. If a RMS-measurement is not
possible, the measurement method of values shall be declared.

9.2 Current measurement

AC (sinusoidal wave form) can be measured with clamp meters (measuring error < 10 %) or with a shunt and
general multipurpose voltage meters (measuring error < 10 %). For measuring phased currents, a meter with a
crest factor > 6 (ratio peak value to RMS-value) shall be used.

9.3 Magnetic field measurement

Magnetization may be determined by measuring the tangential field strength using a Hall probe. To obtain the
required field strength, three factors should be considered, depending on the method of magnetization and the
location of the measurement

a) Orientation of the field-sensitive element

The plane of the field sensitive element should be kept normal to the surface. If a normal field component
exists, a tilt may introduce a substantial error.

b) Surface proximity of the field-sensitive element

Licensed Copy: Tom Magee, Howden Power, 02 June 2003, Uncontrolled Copy, (c) BSI

If the field varies strongly with height above the surface, it may be necessary to make two measurements at
different heights to deduce the value at the surface.

c) Direction of the magnetic field

To determine the direction and magnitude of the field, the probe shall be rotated to give the maximum reading.

9.3.1 Technical data

The following data shall be provided by the supplier :

a) measured value;

b) type and dimensions of the probe;

c) distance of the sensor from the probe surface;

d) geometry of the sensing element;

e) type of instrument;

f) dimensions of the instrument;

g) electrical supply (battery, mains).

9.3.2 Minimum requirements

The following minimum requirement shall be satisfied:

 measurement accuracy better than 10 %.

9.4 Visible light measurement

See EN ISO 3059:2001.

When measuring the visible light from UV sources, the luxmeter shall be insensitive to UV and infrared radiation.
Appropriate filters shall be incorporated.

14
 EN ISO 9934-3:2002 (E)

9.5 UV-A irradiance measurement

See EN ISO 3059:2001.

9.6 Verification and calibration of instruments

The verification and calibration procedures for instruments shall be carried out so that during the calibration interval
the measuring error remains within limits given in this standard. This shall be done, following the recommendations
of the manufacturer of the instrument and in accordance with the quality assurance system of the user.
