What measurements are needed?

Enter inclusion count, total inclusion area, and analyzed field area.

Does this assign an ASTM rating?

No. It reports transparent measurement summaries without certified ASTM E45 or E1245 claims.

Can ConductVision measurements be used?

Yes. Exported inclusion areas and counts can be entered here.

Review notes

Thresholding, polishing artifacts, and field selection can strongly affect inclusion summaries.

Methods note

Area fraction equals total inclusion area divided by analyzed field area. Count density equals count divided by field area.

Scope and limitations

For materials research, education, and protocol documentation only. Not a certified inspection, compliance, asset-integrity, or final acceptance tool.

Results are deterministic calculations from the values entered here. Review units, assumptions, and measurement quality before using outputs in reports or protocols.

Method

Uses the tool-specific formulas and assumptions shown in the calculator output.

Validated
