On the Magnetic Properties of Construction Materials for Magnetic Observatories
Source abstract
Abstract
The installation and development of a magnetic observatory can require additional studies of the magnetic properties of construction materials for pavilions and measurement pillars, as well as of the environmental conditions, including, first of all, the magnetic properties of the surrounding rocks. In some cases, detailed studies of magnetic susceptibility can be necessary. To date, these procedures have only briefly been described in the existing manuals and guides. With the development of new construction materials, as well as with the increase in the number of magnetic observatories, the need for such studies has risen even more. This article is focused on studies of the magnetic properties of construction materials for magnetic observatories, and the results are presented based on our experience in the deployment of magnetic observatories and stations in Russia and abroad. An overview of the magnetic susceptibility of different materials is presented. A kappametry method and its application to studies of construction materials are described, and the results of magnetic susceptibility tests performed on the construction materials and the surrounding rocks in the vicinity of an observatory are provided. Finally, some recommendations for studies of materials for observatory construction are given.
