Guardian Scientist:

  • Belyakov Denis Igorevich, Candidate of Technical Sciences.

Operating principle:

  • The state primary standard of units of magnetic quantities assumes the reproduction of units of magnetic induction B of a constant (=) and alternating (≈) field, magnetic flux Ф, magnetic moment Pm and magnetic induction gradient Gm based on the following equations:

    Where ω is the circular frequency of magnetic resonance; γНе4 is the gyromagnetic ratio of 4Не atoms; KB is the geometric constant of the reference magnetic induction coil; KФ is the geometric constant of the reference magnetic flux coil; Km is the geometric constant of the reference magnetic moment coil; KG is the geometric constant of the reference magnetic induction gradient coil; I is the current in the reference coil.

    Reproduction and transmission of the unit - Tл - in the region of constant fields in a country laboratory is carried out by two independent methods: the first, on the basis of the gyromagnetic ratio γHe4 of helium-4 atoms and the second, according to the constant KВ of the standard quartz 4-section measure of magnetic induction (C4-2), obtained through the linear parameters of the winding, as well as the current I passed through its winding.

    To control the T/A value, the KB═ constant is determined by the ratio of the magnetic induction (MI) reproduced by the C4-2 standard to the electric current passing through its winding. Current I is measured by comparing the voltage drop across a 1 Ω standard resistor connected in series with the MI standard winding with the standard voltage.

    Reproduction and transmission of the T value in the range of 1∙10-8–1∙10-3 T is carried out using a constant magnetic field comparator with full automatic compensation of the Earth's magnetic field by means of a reference three-component comparator-measure of constant field magnetic induction ETMK.

    The same measuring system carries out the transfer of the T/A size on direct current, i.e. the determination of the conversion constants (constant) – KB0 of MI measures, applied both on direct and alternating current.

    Transfer of the unit of magnetic induction in "medium" and "strong" magnetic fields, in the range of 1∙10-3– 1.5 T, is accomplished using the KKMI reference subcomplex.

    The KF constants of the КС-4 reference measure (solenoid) are determined by two independent methods: by calculation using its linear dimensions and by the Rf method.

    The constants of the dependence of KB≈ of the reference measure (solenoid) КС-4 on the frequency in the range from 1 Hz to 20 kHz are determined by calculation through its linear dimensions, which have a primary (KB≈) and secondary (KF) windings, which together represent the primary converter of reference measures of magnetic flux and magnetic induction.

    The value of the constant KB= of the КС-4 solenoid on direct current is determined by comparison with the C4-2 standard measure using a standard helium-cesium magnetometer.

    Based on the КС-4 reference solenoid, the transfer of the sizes Bb/A and Bb/Tl [(A∙m2)/A] on direct current is carried out by means of the reference comparator of magnetic flux and magnetic moment measuring instruments EKPM. On alternating current up to 20 kHz, together with the КС-4 reference measure, the reference comparator of alternating field magnetic induction EKPP is used for transferring the size Tl/A to measures of alternating field magnetic induction, as well as to induction converters and measures of magnetic moment of the size Bb/Tl

    The constant KG is determined by calculation using the linear dimensions of the ESGMI-1 reference magnetic induction gradient solenoid. Magnetic induction with a given gradient is reproduced by passing a direct electric current through the ESGMI-1 winding.
