| Project Nr.: | 2.5.2.6 | ||||||
| Title: | Test and evaluation of magnets | ||||||
| Description: | The project consists of two modules. The first module will be executed by SWEDEC, upon request by the GICHD, and will assess basic permanent magnet capabilities (power, stand-off, etc.) for clutter removal purposes. The second module will be carried out by Sweden as part of the program to assess suitable techniques for UXO clearance of test ranges and will also evaluate electro-magnets. | ||||||

| E-mail: | Not available| Status: | Trials/tests completed | Comments: | Results/Conclusions: | - What is the practical sweep height for a magnet, - At which magnetic flux density is all metal that is lying on the soil surface or close to the soil surface picked up and is it depending on the fragment size, - Is it possible for a magnet to pull up fragments buried in the soil and if so how is it dependent on depth, fragment size, magnet strength and soil compaction. A summary of the SWEDEC trial with permanent magnets can also be found in a related presentation at the 2005 NDRF Summer Conference. |
