Abstract
Magnetic interactions may lead to errors in precision mass metrology. An analytical description of such magnetic errors is presented in whic h the roles of both the volume magnetic susceptibility and permanent m agnetization are discussed. ?he same formalism is then used to describ e in detail the calibration and operation of a susceptometer developed at the Bureau International des Poids et Mesures (BIPM). The device h as been optimized for the determination of the magnetic properties of 1 kg mass standards.
