OerstedPronounced "erst-ed." The measurement of magnetic energy. The higher the Oe rating in a material, the more current is required to change its magnetic polarity. Named after the Danish scientist, Hans Cristian Oersted (1777-1851), it is used, for example, to measure the coercivity point on magnetic media. See coercivity. How to thank TFD for its existence?

This formulation is based on a new ultra-fine ceramic armor metal particle that is 40% smaller than first-generation SDLTtape media and possesses a higher magnetic power of 2600 oersted with superior archival properties. and the University of Dayton, Ohio, has confirmed earlier work done by Soviet scientists suggesting that the ultimate tensile strength, strain to failure, and toughness of a neat diglycidylether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) epoxy system could be significantly increased when the system was simultaneously cured and exposed to a 3700 Oersted or greater magnetic field oriented perpendicular to the material's test axis. The disks currently being shipped by HMT primarily have coercivity levels of 2100 to 3500 Oersted, a measure of storage capacity, and glide heights of 1. |
