I have successfully used small loops for performing shielding effectiveness measurements. They are ideal to locate weak spots or points in a seam or isolate the leakage from aperture areas. We then compared these readings to a final shielding effectiveness measurement for the entire chassis and

I have been using plane shielded loops for over 15 years. Small magnetic loops allow localizing defects to small areas and use of small samples. I don't claim objective figures, but by comparing the material under test to a known good shield (i.e.: galvanized iron sheet) and to air, one gets a
