Standard Test Method for Determination of Low Levels of Antimony in Carbon, Low-Alloy and Stainless Steel by Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption Spectrometry
石墨炉原子吸收光谱法测定碳、低合金和不锈钢中低锑含量的标准试验方法
1.1
This test method covers the determination of antimony in carbon and low-alloy steel in the 0.0005 % through 0.010 % range.
1.2
If this test method is used to test materials having contents less than 0.001 % antimony, users of different laboratories will experience more than the usual 5 % risk that their results will differ by more than 50 % relative error.
1.3
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4
This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
====== Significance And Use ======
5.1
This test method is utilized for the determination of trace levels of antimony in carbon and low-alloy steel. It is assumed that the procedure will be performed by trained analysts capable of performing common laboratory practices skillfully and safely. It is expected that the work will be performed in a properly equipped laboratory and proper waste disposal procedures will be followed.
