IS 14800 : 2000 Recommended Practice for Sorting of Ferrous/Non-ferrous Materials Using Electromagnetic (Eddy Current) Technique

1 Scope

This standard covers the procedure for sorting ferrous as wellas non-ferrous metals using the electromagnetic (eddy current)method. The procedure relates to instruments using absolute orcomparator type coils for distinguishing variations in mass, shape,conductivity, permeability, and other variables such as chemicalcomposition (alloy grade), heat treatment, hardness etc, thataffect the electromagnetic response from the component to betested. The selection of samples to determine sorting feasibilityand to establish calibration standards is also included.
