Steels - Determination of lead content - Flame atomic absorption spectrometric method (FAAS)

This document specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method (FAAS) for the determination of lead content in non-alloy and low alloy steels.
The method is applicable to lead contents between 0,005 % and 0,5 %.
The method can be adapted to lower or higher lead contents by changing the test portion or the dilution process, provided the criteria in 5.2.2 and 5.2.3 are still met.

Stahl - Bestimmung des Bleianteils - Flammenatomabsorptionsspektrometrisches Verfahren (FAAS)

Dieses Dokument legt ein Verfahren zur Bestimmung des Bleigehalts in unlegierten und niedriglegierten Stählen mittels Flammenatomabsorptionsspektroskopie (FAAS) fest.
Dieses Verfahren ist anwendbar für Stähle mit Bleianteilen von 0,005 % (Massengehalt) bis 0,5 % (Massengehalt).
Dieses Verfahren kann für niedrigere als auch höhere Bleigehalte angewandt werden, wenn die Probengrößen und Lösungsvorgänge angepasst werden, sofern die in 6.2.2 und 6.2.3 angegebenen Kriterien erfüllt werden.

Aciers - Détermination de la teneur en plomb - Méthode par spectrométrie d'absorption atomique dans la flamme (SAAF)

Le présent document spécifie une méthode par spectrométrie d'absorption atomique dans la flamme (SAAF) pour la détermination des teneurs en plomb dans les aciers non alliés et faiblement alliés.
La méthode s'applique aux teneurs en plomb comprises entre 0,005 % et 0,5 %.
La méthode peut être adaptée à des teneurs en plomb inférieures ou supérieures en modifiant la prise d'essai ou le facteur de dilution, sous réserve que les critères énoncés en 6.2.2 et 6.2.3 soient respectés.

Jeklo - Določevanje svinca - Metoda s plamensko atomsko absorpcijsko spektrometrijo (FAAS)

Ta dokument določa metodo plamenske atomske absorpcijske spektrometrije (FAAS) za določevanje svinca v nelegiranih in malolegiranih jeklih.
Ta metoda se uporablja za vsebnosti svinca med 0,005 % in 0,5 %.
Metodo je mogoče prilagoditi nižjim ali višjim vsebnostim svinca s spreminjanjem preskusne količine ali procesa redčenja, če so kriteriji iz točk 5.2.2 in 5.2.3 še vedno izpolnjeni.
