Parameter A material property or instrument variable.<br />

Performance Standard Also referred to as Reference Standard. A test<br />

standard used to qualify and calibrate test system for a particular test.<br />

Permeability (Magnetic) — μ(mu), henry/metre. μ r dimensionless, relative<br />

magnetic permeability. Ratio between flux density, B, and magnetizing force, H.<br />

Permeability describes the intrinsic willingness of a material to conduct magnetic<br />

flux lines.<br />

Permeability, Effective A hypothetical quantity which is used to describe the<br />

magnetic field distribution within a cylindrical conductor in an encircling coil. The<br />

field strength of the applied magnetic field is assumed to be uniform over the<br />

entire cross section of the test specimen with the effective permeability, which is<br />

characterized by the conductivity and diameter of the test specimen and test<br />

frequency, assuming values between zero and one, such that its associated<br />

amplitude is always less than one within the specimen.<br />
