EP Test Standards: Fabrication , Calibration, Usage of Magnetic Flux Probes with Application to Electric Propulsion Testing

A draft of the EP testing standards recommended practices for magnetic flux diagnostics has been completed and will be presented. This starndard includes recommended design and implementation standards for magnetic flux loops and Rogoswki coils for bulk and external measurement of magnetic flux parameters. A review of magnetic flux probe theory, circuit discriptions, and typical application practices will be described. Additionally, construction techniques from common implementations and commerical applications will be detailed in full.
