Abstract
The precision of the measurement of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) depends, in addition to other factors like accuracy of measurement of directional susceptibility and number of measuring directions, also on the orientation of the measuring design with respect to the specimen's anisotropy. The last factor can be characterized by rotatability coefficient of the measuring design. We investigated through mathematical modelling of measuring process the effect of the rotatability coefficient on the error in the determination of degree of AMS, shape factor and principal directions. The effect is conspicuous in strongly non-rotatable designs with low number of measuring directions. It decreases with increasing rotatability and with increasing number of measuring directions. In designs with high number of directions this effect is small, virtually negligible from the practical point of view.
