What is BS 6783-9 – Nickel, ferronickel and nickel alloys about?
BS 6783-9 standard is a part of the BS 6783 series that discusses the determination of silicon in ferronickel (gravimetric method) for sampling and analysis of nickel, ferronickel and nickel alloys. Nickel alloys containing 72-83% nickel have the best soft magnetic properties and are used in transformers, inductors, magnetic amplifiers, magnetic shields and memory storage devices.
BS 6783-9 specifies a gravimetric method for the determination of silicon in ferronickel in the range 0,2 to 4,0 % (m/m).
Who is BS 6783-9 – Nickel, ferronickel and nickel alloys for?
BS 6783-9 on the determination of nickel alloys applies to:
- Manufacturer of nickel alloys
- Quality testing personnel
- Design engineers
Why should you use BS 6783-9 – Nickel, ferronickel and nickel alloys?
Nickel alloys containing 72-83% nickel have the best soft magnetic properties and are used in transformers, inductors, magnetic amplifiers, magnetic shields and memory storage devices. The gravimetric analysis relies on the contrast of the masses of two analyte-containing compounds.
BS 6783-9 provides you with guidance on silicon in the extract that can be determined by either atomic absorption or atomic emission spectrometry. It provides you with the procedure which includes the test portion, blank test and the determination which helps you in sampling and analysis of nickel, ferronickel and nickel alloys.
With BS 6783-9 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
