What is PD CEN/TR 10367- Determination of chromium content in alloyed steels about?
PD CEN/TR 10367 is a safety standard for alloyed steels.
PD CEN/TR 10367 specifies an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric method for the determination of the chromium content (mass fraction) between 5,0 % (m/m) and 27,0 % (m/m) in alloyed steels.
The method uses a calibration based on a very close matrix matching of the calibration solutions to the sample and bracketing of the mass fractions between 0,95 to 1,05 of the approximate content of chromium in the sample to be analyzed.
NOTE: The method doesn't apply to alloyed steels having carbon contents higher than 1 % and niobium and/or tungsten contents higher than 0,1 %.
Who is PD CEN/TR 10367- Determination of chromium content in alloyed steels for?
PD CEN/TR 10367 on determining chromium content is relevant to:
- Mechanical engineers
- Chemical engineers
- Metallurgical engineers
- Manufacturers of optical emission spectrometers
- Plating, tanning, and pigment industries
- Testing authorities
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 10367- Determination of chromium content in alloyed steels?
Alloy steels are made up of iron, carbon, and other elements such as silicon, nickel, manganese, copper, and chromium.
PD CEN/TR 10367 assists the user with a method that uses a calibration based on a very close matrix matching of the calibration solutions to the sample and bracketing of the mass fractions between 0,95 to 1,05 of the approximate content of chromium in the sample to be analyzed.
The advantage of this procedure is that all possible interferences from the matrix are compensated, which results in high accuracy. This is most important for spectral interferences, which can be severe in very highly alloyed matrixes. Therefore, it is essential that the spectrometer used meets the performance criteria specified in the method for the selected analytical lines. Overall, PD CEN/TR 10367 is useful as it provides guidance on the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric method and it also helps with the determination of chromium content which can be beneficial for your business.
