In situ calibration of rotating sensor coils for magnet testing
Review of Scientific Instruments, 2012
An in situ procedure for calibrating equivalent magnetic area and rotation radius of rotating coils is proposed for testing accelerator magnets shorter than the measuring coil. The procedure exploits measurements of magnetic field and mechanical displacement inside a reference quadrupole magnet. In a quadrupole field, an offset between the magnet and coil rotation axes gives rise to a dipole component in the field series expansion. The measurements of the focusing strength, the displacement, and the resulting dipole term allow the equivalent area and radius of the coil to be determined analytically. The procedure improves the accuracy of coils with large geometrical irregularities in the winding. This is essential for short magnets where the coil dimensions constrain the measurement accuracy.
An in-situ procedure for calibrating the equivalent radius and width of the coil transducer in rotating mode measurements for magnetic field quality analysis is proposed. The standard calibration procedure is not suitable when the coil is longer than the magnet under test, because an average value of the radius and of the width along the length as a whole is obtained. This problem increases for small coils used in small-aperture magnets, such as quadrupoles of new-generation linear accelerators. In the paper, the problem of the coil parameter calibration is highlighted and then the proposed calibration method and the corresponding measurement station are illustrated. Experimental results of a case study on the magnet series of the new linear particle accelerator LINAC4, designed to intensify the proton flux currently available in the accelerator chain at the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), are reported.
Measurements of magnetic materials
Metrologia, 2010
Major methods to measure the magnetic properties of materials are systematically discussed in the light of the general phenomenology of magnetism in matter and its physical interpretation. Attention is paid to the problems of measurement traceability and reproducibility and the related standards. While the discussion is focused on the characterization of the soft and hard ferromagnetic materials relevant for electromagnetic applications, brief consideration is given to the special problems posed by measurements on feebly magnetic materials. It is stressed how geometrical and physical properties can often combine to make the determination of the true magnetic properties of materials a somewhat elusive goal. Measurement reproducibility can nevertheless be attained under the guidance provided by written standards. Recent evolution of the magnetic measuring techniques has occurred in response to the digital revolution and the development of novel high-performance materials (e.g. extra-hard rare-earth based magnets, multilayers, micro/nanostructures, etc). It is stressed, however, that the drive to progress in measurements ultimately stems from the search for new fundamental phenomena in materials and their understanding.
IEEE Transactions on Instrumentation and Measurement, 2013
The aim of this paper is to describe a procedure and experimental setup for calibration of AC induction magnetometer. The paper presents an overview of the previous research and results of measurement of magnetic flux density inside largediameter multilayer solenoid. This solenoid is magnetising coil of the magnetometer. The paper also describes a system of five smaller coils of the magnetometer which are placed inside the large solenoid. Three small coils are pickup coils, accompanied with two compensation coils, of which one is an empty coil for magnetic field measurement. The experimental results of calibration of this coil system have been presented. A proper discussion of all the results presented has been also given in the paper.
Rotating-Coil Measurement System for Small-Bore-Diameter Magnet Characterization
Sensors
Rotating-coil measurement systems are widely used to measure the multipolar fields of particle accelerator magnets. This paper presents a rotating-coil measurement system that aims at providing a complete data set for the characterization of quadrupole magnets with small bore diameters (26 mm). The PCB magnetometer design represents a challenging goal for this type of transducer. It is characterized by an aspect ratio 30% higher than the state of the art, imposed by the reduced dimension of the external radius of the rotating shaft and the necessity of covering the entire magnet effective length (500 mm or higher). The system design required a novel design for the mechanical asset, also considering the innovation represented by the commercial carbon fiber tube, housing the PCB magnetometer. Moreover, the measurement system is based primarily on standard and commercially available components, with simplified control and post-processing software applications. The system and its compon...
Calibration and characterisation with a new laser-based magnetostriction measurement system
Materials and Design, 2009
A laser-based magnet measurement system has been developed to measure the magnetostrictive strain of large cylindrical samples. The measurement system incorporates a solenoid capable of generating a maximum magnetic field intensity of 3000 Oe and a laser displacement sensor. For calibration and evaluation purposes, the positive magnetostrictions of two different types of giant magnetostrictive Tb-Dy-Fe-based materials were accessed with this system. A magnetostrictive strain of 622 ppm was obtained at 3000 Oe for Tb x Dy 1Àx Fe 2Ày , compared with 725 ppm for Tb 0.27 Dy 0.73 Fe 2 . A rod of sintered cobalt ferrite was also measured. This exhibited negative magnetostriction, with a maximum contraction of 260 ppm at 3000 Oe.

2001
A rotating coil magnetic measurement system has been built at SSRC to measure the quadrupole and sextupole magnet prototypes of SSRF. The system consists of several rotating coils designed for different magnets and a control system. The coils are designed to have nearly zero sensitivity to the fundamental signals in bucked configurations. The control system is designed to be versatile, modular, expandable, maintainable, quick and easily reconfigurable in both hardware and software. This system can provide 0.01% precision.
International comparison of measurements of hard magnets with the Vibrating Sample Magnetometer
International Journal of Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics
We present the results of an international comparison regarding the magnetic properties of hard magnets, measured using the Vibrating Sample Magnetometer. The comparison involved eight different international laboratories, plus two laboratories using the SQUID magnetometer. It was directed, in particular, at the determination of the hysteresis loop parameters of hard ferrite and magnetic tape samples. It was carried out in the framework of the activity of the IEC TC68 Working Group 2. The statistical analysis of the obtained results was performed according to standard rules (e.g. ISO and EURAMET guidelines). The standard deviation around the mean of the laboratories best estimates is found to be s ∼ 1% in anisotropic ferrites for all the measured quantities: coercive fields HcJ and HcB, high-field polarization J 800 k , polarization at remanence Jr, maximum energy product (BH)max. Isotropic ferrites show larger dispersion of the best estimates of Jr and HcB (∼ 3%) and (BH)max (∼6%). For the quantities measured in the magnetic tapes (magnetic moment under applied field H = 400 kA/m m 400 k and at remanence mr, squareness S = m 400 k /mr, HcJ)s is found to fluctuate around 2%. In all cases, the relative expanded uncertainty of the reference value (weighted mean), associated with a 95% confidence level, is at most ±1.5%.

High-class calibration system for DC magnetometers certification
The calibration system for vector DC magnetometers of Nurmijarvi Geophysical Observatory (Finland) is described. It is based on a three axes reference coil system and Observatory reference magnetometer. It is shown experimentally that the system allows to determine calibrated magnetometer parameters with an error about 0.02%. One important error sourceinfluence of non-collinearity of reference and calibrated magnetometer axes-is analyzed and value of this error is estimated. Also additional possibilities of the Observatory infrastructure are described: determination of temperature errors of magnetometer's sensor and electronics and long-term temporal drift study of up to 9 magnetometers simultaneously.
