BS EN 15024-2:2018

What is BS EN 15024-2- Flame atomic absorption spectrometric method (FAAS) about?

BS EN 15024-2 is the second part of the BS EN 15024 series of standards that specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method (FAAS) for the determination of the zinc content of copper and copper alloys in the form of unwrought, wrought, and cast products.

The method is applicable to products having zinc mass fractions between 0,000 5 % and 5,0 %.

Who is BS EN 15024-2- Flame atomic absorption spectrometric method (FAAS) for?

BS EN 15024-2 on determining zinc content is relevant to:

• Metallurgical engineers
• Corrosion engineers
• Chemical engineers
• Testing authorities
• Manufacturers of spectrometers
• Manufacturers of copper alloys

Why should you use BS EN 15024-2- Flame atomic absorption spectrometric method (FAAS) irons?

BS EN 15024-2 zinc content of copper and copper alloys in the form of unwrought, wrought, and cast products. BS EN 15024-2 will help to determine the quality of the products.

What’s changed since the last update?

BS EN 15024-2:2018 supersedes BS EN 15024-2:2006, which is withdrawn. In comparison with BS EN 15024-2:2006, the following significant changes were made:

• The upper limit of the zinc mass fraction has been reduced from 6,0 % to 5,0 %
• The fluoroboric-nitric acid mixture has been replaced by a solution of hydrochloric and nitric acids for the dissolution of the test portion
• The concentrations of the zinc stock solution and the copper base solutions have been modified
• The use of a continuum source xenon short-arc lamp has been added as an alternative to the use of a zinc hollow-cathode lamp
• The precision data have been updated
