    When ferrite content is too high, stainless steel can lose ductility, toughness, and corrosion resistance – especially at high

    Ferrite Test Process By Industry


    Bridge Inspection
    Baker Testing can measure and report ferrite content of welds and components Buildings - Steel and Conc
    during fabrication and for in-service applications with two different test methods, Castings, Forgings and Ma
    depending on code or customer requirements. Using the magnetic induction Rolled Products
    Electronic Components
    method, with highly accurate digital readings and in situ instrument calibration
    Fire Investigation
    checks, trained BTS technicians can report readings individually or in ranges to
    Museum Art
    meet customer specifications. Alternately, high sensitivity low Mu permeability Pipe and Pipelines
    standards measure ferrite content between a series of calibrated standards. Test Power Industry
    measurements can be reported by ferrite number (FN) or by ferrite percentage in Storage Tanks

    conformance with welding procedures, customer drawings, and specifications by
    direct reading or conversion.

    Experience, Expertise, Code Conformance

    Over 10 years experience in ferrite testing and measurement


    for a variety of industries and applications

    Trained and qualified technicians use both Fischer digital


    feritscopes and Severn permeability indicators in
    conformance with ASTM A342, AWS 4.2, DIN EN ISO
    17655, as well as various other military, civilian, and
    customer specific standards and requirements.

    Both field and in-house testing services are available. If you can’t bring components to us, we will come to you.
