What is BS EN 10355 – Ferrous materials about?
BS EN 10355 is a European standard that discusses the chemical analysis of ferrous materials. The ICP-AES is an analytical technique based on the principles of atomic spectroscopy for the determination of more than 70 elements with detection limits in the parts per billion to parts per million range. In theory, the technique allows us to analyze all elements except argon.
BS EN 10355 specifies an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry routine method for the analysis of unalloyed and low alloyed steels, whose iron content shall be at least 95 %. This standard differs from the similar standard EN 10351:2011 in that it is optimised for the determination of silicon.
Who is BS EN 10355 – Ferrous materials for?
BS EN 10355 on the chemical analysis of ferrous materials applies to:
- Manufacturer of optical emission spectroscopy machines
- Quality testing personnel
- Laboratory companies
Why should you use BS EN 10355 – Ferrous materials?
The inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric analysis is an analytical technique based on the principles of atomic spectroscopy for the determination of more than 70 elements with detection limits in the parts per billion to parts per million range. In theory, the technique allows us to analyze all elements except argon.
BS EN 10355 facilitates you in various types of determination for the chemical analysis of ferrous materials such as Synoptic, adjustment of the spectrometer, spectrometric measure metric of the calibration solutions, analysing, assessment of trueness and measurements of the unknown samples. This helps you in the determination of Si, Mn, P, Cu, Ni, Cr, Mo and Sn, following dissolution with nitric and sulphuric acids using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric analysis of unalloyed and low alloyed steels for chemical analysis of ferrous materials.
