Magnetic susceptibility of some materials used for apparatus construction (at 295 K)

Abstract

The magnetic susceptibility, χ, at 295 K of a wide variety of common laboratory construction materials has been carefully measured. Only materials with well-characterized compositions are included in the final data. Materials such as Cu alloys and filled epoxies showing ferromagneticlike saturation behavior are listed with the recognition that workers will probably want to use these with great caution in precision experiments where magnetic effects may be a source of error. Susceptibility values are given for over 30 materials for which χ values are not available in the literature and which exhibit χ independent of H.
