1.0 PURPOSE
The purpose of this work instruction is to establish ferrite content in
weldments and clad layers of austenitic and duplex stainless steels.
2.0 SCOPE
This instruction sets forth the minimum requirements to be observed for
ferrite measurement by using FERITSCOPE MP30. This equipment is
suitable for ferrite content measurement in weld metal and clad layers of
austenitic and duplex stainless steels.

4.0 TEST PRINCIPLE
The equipment uses the magnetic induction test method whereby the
ferrite content shall be obtained from the magnetic permeability.
5.0 DEFINITIONS
5.1 Unit of measurement
Unit used for measurement display. In ferrite content measurement,
the common units of measurement are point count ferrite (Fe %) or
ferrite numbers (FN).
5.2 Measuring object
The measurements are performed on objects to determine the ferrite
content.
5.3 Calibration standards (ferrite standards)
Objects with the same attributes as the measuring object with
known ferrite contents. The ferrite content of the calibration
standards shall be measured with an extremely accurate test
method.

15 Correction Factors
The following factors affect the ferrite content l11r.asurcmcnl with rhe r-r:R 11'-
SCOPE@ MP30:
. curvalure of the measuring object
The effects of these factors can be corrected for by multiplying the rn~:1~\lrr:d
ferrite contenl with the corresponding correction factors.
'I11edeviation of the measured ferrite content from the I[I:~ ferrite co"!!':nl of
curved measuring objects increases with increasing curvalurc.
Figure IS. I shows Ihal convex curvatures with diamclrr, l:Jrger Ih;Jn'i() mm
(2") have a negligible influence.
The influence of concave curvatures with diameters larcer than 80 mm 0") is
I1cgJigible (see fig~Jre 152)
