DIN 54145-1:2013-02

This document has been prepared by Working Committee NA 062-08-24 AA "Elektrische und magnetische Prüfverfahren" ("Electrical and magnetic test methods") at the Materials Testing Standards Committee (NMP) at DIN. The standard series DIN 54145 "Non-destructive testing - Electromagnetic detection" consists of the following parts: - Part 1: Passive magnetics - Part 2: Active electro-magnetic induction methods This document specifies minimum requirements for the extent and verification of parameters for electro-magnetic detectors of ordnance. Part 1 of this standard series specifies requirements for detectors for ferromagnetic impediments common in ordnance detection primarily created by the casing of the ordnance. It specifies guidelines for the fluxgate-based vertical difference magnetometers, triaxial fluxgate magnetometers and triaxial differential magnetometers. The detector parameters specified in the standard series and their test by, on the one hand, the manufacturer and on the other hand the user, provides a characteristic picture of the detector allowing third parties to decide on the usability of the detector.
