How to know if your fence pipe is magnetized…#diy#homesteading#fence#pipefence#stickwelding

Magnetic detector

@Austin It is a simple, yet effective, tool: just place the base of the indicating needle against the object you wish to test. The Magnetism Detector’s needle indicator will move to a point on the scale that represents the strength of the magnetic field (in gauss) of the material. The meter scale reads 20 units on either side of a zero center point, allowing for quick identification of the field’s polarity as well as the level of the magnetic field.

Just put them through a heat cycle it will demagnetise them 👍🏻

I’m too lazy to research it but I heard if you put a magnet in the freezer it makes it stronger so my thought was if you heated part of the pipe with a torch kinda pretty hot maybe it would demagnetize the metal? Idk lmao it’s 4am💀😂

But....why does it matter if your rusty pipes are magnetic or not?

Why does it matter if it’s magnetized?
