The international round robin test of magnetostriction measurement of grain-oriented electrical steel by means of a single sheet tester and an optical sensor

Abstract This paper reports the results of the round robin test (hereafter RRT) of magnetostriction measurement using the test apparatus following IEC 60404-17 from April 2019 to August 2019. The main purpose of the RRT is to identify factors affecting the magnetostriction measurement, and then to estimate the reproducibility of the measurements. Nine anonymous laboratories, whose test apparatuses are a little different from the draft standard, participated in the RRT. In the progress of the RRT, we identified factors affecting the magnetostriction measurement. Finally, the reproducibility of the measurements was estimated. Doshisha Univ. acts as the reference laboratory.
