F
First Article Inspection (FAIR)
A first article inspection (FAI) is a design verification and design history file and a formal method of providing a reported measurement for each manufactured feature of a part or assembly. Typically, the supplier performs the FAI and the purchaser reviews or approves the report.
Flux Density
The magnetic induction corresponding to zero magnetising force in a magnetic material after saturation in a closed circuit; measured in gauss or tesla.
Flux Meter
This machine is used to check the magnetisation angle; this is especially important in combination with sensors. Unlike Gaussmeters need a changing magnetic environment to support measurement.
Frame Contracts
Frame Contracts are agreements to manufacture, store and deliver goods over a fixed period of time, with some spanning up to 3 years. The benefits are that a long-term partnership is established and pricing can be fixed for the duration of the contract, which can save both time and cost compared to the normal repeat ordering process.
