Overview

EN 60404-4:1997 - published by CLC - defines terminology and standardized measurement procedures for the d.c. magnetic properties of magnetically soft materials (iron and steel). The standard describes two principal measurement techniques - the ring method and the permeameter method - both using a test specimen in a closed magnetic circuit. It also provides requirements for the test equipment and the associated electrical circuits. EN 60404-4 is aligned with IEC 60404-4:1995.

Key Topics

  • Scope and terminology
    • Standard definitions and terms used for d.c. magnetic testing of magnetically soft materials.
  • Measurement methods
    • Ring method: procedure using a ring-shaped specimen in a closed magnetic path.
    • Permeameter method: procedure using a permeameter arrangement with a closed magnetic circuit.
  • Test specimen configuration
    • Use of specimens that form a closed magnetic circuit to minimize leakage flux and improve measurement accuracy.
  • Test equipment and electric circuits
    • Description of measurement apparatus, winding arrangements and electrical connections required for d.c. testing.
  • Measurement objectives
    • Determination of d.c. magnetic characteristics relevant to soft magnetic materials (e.g., magnetization response under steady magnetic field conditions).

Applications

EN 60404-4 is used by organizations that need repeatable, comparable measurements of d.c. magnetic behavior of soft magnetic materials:

  • Material manufacturers (electrical steel, soft iron) for quality control and product specifications.
  • Test laboratories and calibration houses performing standardized magnetic property measurements.
  • R&D teams developing magnetic materials or optimizing heat treatments, annealing and processing routes.
  • Component designers (transformers, inductors, magnetic cores) who require reliable material data for d.c. operating conditions.
  • Standards bodies and procurement teams specifying test methods in contracts and conformance assessments.

Related Standards

  • IEC 60404-4:1995 - international counterpart referenced by EN 60404-4.
  • Other parts of the EN/IEC 60404 series that cover a wider range of magnetic material properties and test methods.

EN 60404-4 provides a practical, standardized basis for measuring d.c. magnetic properties using closed-circuit techniques (ring and permeameter), enabling consistent material characterization across suppliers, labs and device manufacturers. Keywords: EN 60404-4, IEC 60404-4, magnetic materials, d.c. magnetic properties, ring method, permeameter, magnetically soft, closed magnetic circuit, measurement methods.
