The degaussing facility records a ship's magnetic field as it passes over the degaussing range and notifies the ship as to what adjustments must be made to the degaussing coils on board the ship(with the exception of submarines which have none) in order to reduce the ship's magnetic field to a safe operational level.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Minesweeping and Minehunting
  • Magnetism
CONT

The application of [a] degaussing system started during the World War II to prevent the naval ships from magnetic mines and torpedoes. When the ship used to come near a magnetic mine or a magnetic torpedo, the magnetic field of the ship used to actuate the firing mechanism and cause the mine or torpedo [to] explode. Thus, degaussing systems were installed to counteract the ship's magnetic field by cancelling the changes in earth's field around the hull of the ship.

CONT

Ships and their crews stand a greater chance of survival if they can avoid being detected by weapons activated by a ship's electromagnetic field. DRDC [Defence R&D Canada] has proposed a new methodology – based on ship degaussing – which decomposes the ship's total magnetization into components, each one related to the orientation of the degaussing coils.

[British scientists] then invented a "degaussing girdle" around a ship, a band of wiring around the hull, energised by an electric current which reversed polarity and neutralised the ship's magnetism. With this system working efficiently, a vessel could pass over a mine without exploding it.

DEF

A process for reducing a magnetized material to a neutral state, that is, to a state when both the magnetic induction B and the magnetic field strength H are equal to zero. (...) The standard demagnetization process involves applying a magnetizing force above a critical value for the material used, and successively reversing H in direction as the value of H is steadily reduced to a value less than those to be used in subsequent experiments. If the final value of H is essentially zero, the specimen is demagnetized.

Removal of magnetization of ferromagnetic materials by the use of diminishing saturating alternating magnetic fields.
