What is BS 6200-3.10.2 – Ferrous metals about?
BS 6200-3.10.2 standard is a part of the BS 6200 series that discusses the determination of chromium in steel and cast iron using flame atomic absorption spectrometric for sampling and analysis of iron, steel and other ferrous metals. Ferrous metal is any metal that is primarily composed of iron and has magnetic properties. Ferrous metal is known for its hardness, durability and tensile strength.
BS 6200-3.10.2 specifies a method for the determination of chromium in steels and irons using flame atomic absorption spectrometry. The method applies to non-alloy and low-alloy steels and irons with chromium contents of 0.002 to 2.0 % (m/m) (see Annex).
Who is BS 6200-3.10.2 – Ferrous metals for?
BS 6200-3.10.2 on the determination of chromium for steel and cast irons applies to:
- Manufacturer of ferrous materials
- Ferrous engineers
- Quality testing personnel
Why should you use BS 6200-3.10.2 – Ferrous metals?
Ferrous metal is any metal that is primarily composed of iron and has magnetic properties. Ferrous metal is known for its hardness, durability and tensile strength. Flame atomic absorption is a very common technique for detecting metals and metalloids in environmental samples. It is very reliable and simple to use.
BS 6200-3.10.2 provides you with the principle in which the determination of the chromium takes place. It involves the spectrometric measurement of atomic absorption.
BS 6200-3.10.2 lets you know the procedure for determination of chromium including Preparation of the test solution, preparation of the calibration solution, adjustment of atomic absorption spectrophotometer, optimization of the atomic absorption spectrometer settings and atomic absorption measurements. This helps you in sampling and analysis of iron, steel and other ferrous metals.
With BS 6200-3.10.2 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
