This work deals with the analysis of experimental data on the average magnetization of $Fe_{1-x}Me_x$ (Me=Sn,Si) disordered alloys, the average and local hyperfine fields (HFF) at the Fe nuclei. The effect of the metalloid concentration on the HFF is studied with the help of the results of first- principles calculations of ordered alloys. The disorder is taken into account by means of model systems. The dependences obtained correspond to those experimentally observed. Experimental data on the ratio of the average HFF at Fe nuclei to the average magnetisation in alloys with sp-elements show that the ratio decreases proportionally with the metalloid concentration. This change in the ratio is bound up with three factors. First, the contribution of the valence electron polarization by the neighboring atoms, that is positive (unlike the polarization by the own magnetic moment), increases with the change of the disorder degree (increase of concentration). Second, the appearance of the impurities, i.e. metalloid atoms, in the nearest environment of Fe leads to the orbital moment increase. And, finally, the change of the disorder degree, as in the first case, results in an increase in the orbital magnetic moment and its positive contribution to the HFF. The value and the degree of the influence of these contributions to the HFF is discussed.
