A torsion balance magnetometer (with moving magnet and stationary specimen) is described; it is suitable for testing constructional materials for ferromagnetic impurities Emphasis is laid on speed of making apparatus, as such tests are often merely incidental to a larger research. The effects of specimen shape are discussed, and some data relating iron content and magnetic permeability of brass are given.
