Re: IATA/airfreight and magnetic fields

2001-12-04 Thread Andrew Carson

When you do the measurements it is often very surprising, as too what turns out 
ot be magnetic, and what is ok.

Remember for far field measurements a magnetic field drops of at an inverse 
cube rate (approx.).
So being very crude with the equations (as the physics often hurts my head), if 
you have a large powerful magnet of say, a 20 cm diameter. At 2.1m the field 
strength is already reduced to 1/9000th and at 4.6m to nearly 1/10th of the 
max field strength measured at the magnets face.

 maximum allowance, mG at meters distance, would be exceeded by these devices, 
 I think. You could try the JBL website, their US headquarters is in Los 
 Angeles CA, they are part of the Harman Audio group.
