ASTM E566-99
Historical Standard: ASTM E566-99 Standard Practice for Electromagnetic (Eddy-Current) Sorting of Ferrous Metals
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM E566
1. Scope
1.1 This practice covers the procedure for sorting ferrous metals using the electromagnetic (eddy-current) method. The procedure relates to instruments using absolute or comparator-type coils for distinguishing variations in mass, shape, conductivity, permeability, and other variables such as hardness and alloy that affect the electrical or magnetic properties, or both, of the material. The selection of samples to determine sorting feasibility and to establish calibration standards is also included.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
