Applicable to products having a Mn content between 0.0002 % (m/m) and 0.005 % (m/m). Preliminary extraction by the method specified in the annex if the apparatus available does not have a sufficient sensitivity. Describes the dissolution of a test sample by heating in a sealed borosilicate glass tube with hydrochloric acid at a controlled temperature of 250 °C. Aspiration of the solution in an…

Describes the preparation of the calibration graph and the dissolution of a test portion in concentrated sulphuric acid and heating on a hot-plate until the hydrofluoric acid has evaporated. Treatment of the residue with concentrated hydrochloric acid. Aspiration of the solution into an acetylene/dinitrogen monoxide flame and spectrophotometric measurement of the absorption of the 422.7-nm line…

Applies to the simultaneous determination of the loss of mass at 550 °C which is the sum of the masses of water that has not undergone any reaction and of the hydrogen fluoride formed by pyrohydrolysis and the mass of water released at 550 °C determined by the Karl-Fischer Method (direct electrometric titration). Makes reference to ISO 760. The difference between these two determinations is due…

This method is applicable to the zinc alloys defined in ISO 301. It is suitable for the determination of magnesium contents between 0,01 and 0,08 %. ISO 3750 specifies principle, reagents, apparatus, sampling, procedure, expression of results and test report.

Specifies the determination for natural and synthetic materials having a molar ratio sodium fluoride/aluminium trifluoride between 3 and 1,7 approximately. The principle consists in fusion of a test portion with sodium carbonate, separation of fluorine by distillation with sulphuric acid or perchloric acid. Titration with thorium nitrate solution in presence of sodium alizarinsulphonate/methylene…

Applies for the determination of natural and synthetic materials having a molar ratio sodium fluoride/aluminium trifluoride between 3 and 1,7 approximately. The method is applicable to products having an iron content equal to or greater than 0,020 % (m/m). The principle consists in dissolution of a test portion by either alkaline or acid fusion. Reduction of iron(III) with hydroxylammonium…

The method is applicable to products having a silica content between 0.005 % (m/m) and 0.025 % (m/m) provided that the content of phosphorus pentoxide plus vanadium pentoxide does not exceed 0.02 % (m/m). The principle of the method is based on the formation of oxidized molybdosilicate (yellow) under well-defined conditions of acidity, concentration of reagents, temperature and time. Selective…

Applicable to products having As contents equal or more than 0.5 mg/kg. In a well-ventilated cupboard, dissolution of a test portion in carbon tetrachloride. Oxidation of sulphur by bromine and nitric acid. Heating in a boiling water bath to eliminate the exess of bromine, carbon tetrachloride and nitric acid. The analysis is carried out according to ISO 2590. The replacement of some reagents…

Macroscopic methods deal with non-metallic inclusions visible to the naked eye or with the aid of a magnifying glass with a magnification of not more than X 10. Only inclusions equal to or greater than 1 mm long are taken into consideration. Covers the blue fracture test method, the step machined test method, the magnetic particle inspection method.

The method consists in acetylating the hydroxyl groups containing compounds with a mixture of acetic anhydride and pyridine. The excess of acetic anhydride is hydrolized and the acetic acid formed is titrated with a potassium hydroxide solution. Primary and secondary alcoholes are acetylated completely by this method. Phenols, anthranilates and aldehydes are acetylated either completely or…
