BS EN ISO 20565-3:2008

Describes flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) methods for the chemical analysis of chrome-bearing refractory products and chrome-bearing raw materials.

This part of ISO 20565 specifies flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) methods for the chemical analysis of chrome-bearing refractory products and chrome-bearing raw materials. It is applicable in the ranges of determination given in Table 1. ISO 20565 gives alternatives to the X-ray fluorescence (XRF) method given in ISO 12677. Table 1 — Range of determination (% by mass) Component Range SiO2 0,5 to 10 Al2O3 2 to 30 Fe2O3 0,5 to 25 TiO2 0,01 to 1 MnO 0,01 to 1 CaO 0,01 to 3 MgO 15 to 85 Na2O 0,01 to 1 K2O 0,01 to 1 Cr2O3 2 to 60 ZrO2 0,01 to 0,5 P2O5 0,01 to 5 LOI −0,5 to 5 NOTE These values are after the loss on ignition (LOI) has been taken into account.
