This is a video I have hesitated to make. But it is a video that is fitting for my channel and answers a question I occasionnally get from viewers (and ask myself): Can the grade of a magnet be measured?

I believe it is very difficult at home due to many factors and relatively small differences between the grades. Not to mention the grades are ranges - not exact values.

I will however attempt to determine the grade of a cheap N52 magnet from eBay using only a gaussmeter and some theoretical calculations. Will it work? Find out in the video.

Can I measure the grade of a magnet?

Is it possible to measure the grade of a magnet? Even if you 'only' have a gaussmeter? It is interesting to know, since neodymium magnets are expensive and it would be nice to know, if you get what you pay for. In this video I attempt to confirm the grade on some magnets before trying to determine the grade of a questionable, cheap N52 magnet. Let's see what it takes to determine the grade of a magnet - or at least get an indication of it...
