The first results of magnetic field measurements are presented here for HD 187474, a slowly rotating Ap star. From resolved Zeeman pattern the strength of the field and its mean inclination were obtained. From differential magnetic broadening a second value of the field strength has been deduced, which is compatible with the previous one. The “Robinson” method has been tested and a good agreement is found between observed and calculated Zeeman broadening of FeII lines. This method can therefore certainly be used to measure the surface field in slow rotating chemically peculiar stars.
