5.1.5.7 Test procedure using an eddy current conductivity meter<br />

(a) Locate the reference standards and the test part in the same area, and<br />

allow time for the temperature of both to equalize.<br />

(b) Switch on the instrument and allow it to warm up for a period of at least 5<br />

minutes.<br />

(c) Calibrate the instrument in accordance with the instrument<br />

manufacturer's instructions. If possible, the calibration should be carried<br />

out or checked using reference standards with conductivity values similar<br />

to those to be measured. For aluminium alloys, the calibration should be<br />

carried out or checked using two reference standards which differ by at<br />

least 10% IACS, one in the range 25 to 32% IACS and the other in the<br />

range 38 to 50% IACS.<br />
