Because ferrous contamination in a plant typically comes from wear of steel machine parts, broken blades, staples and swarf, the ferrous check is the one most often demanded by retailer audits and standards such as BRCGS and IFS. Detecting the ferrous sphere on the first pass confirms the search head, timing and reject mechanism are all functioning before the harder non-ferrous and stainless steel checks are run.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso available in \u003ca href=\"\/products\/non-ferrous-test-wand\"\u003eNon-Ferrous\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ss304-test-wand\"\u003eSS304\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ss316-test-wand\"\u003eSS316\u003c\/a\u003e as test wands, or as a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ferrous-flexible-test-wand\"\u003eFerrous flexible test wand\u003c\/a\u003e and a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/ferrous-test-ball\"\u003eFerrous test ball\u003c\/a\u003e.
