EN ISO 21068-3:2008

Chemical analysis of silicon-carbide-containing raw materials and refractory products - Part 3: Determination of nitrogen, oxygen and metallic and oxidic constituents (ISO 21068-3:2008)

ISO 21068-3:2008 specifies methods for the determination of total nitrogen and nitrogen calculated as silicon nitride, total oxygen, and free metallic and oxidic components in silicon carbide raw materials and refractory products.
It applies only to silicon carbide materials that are not bonded with nitrogen. Nitride-bonded silicon carbide refractories are covered in EN 12698-1.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 21068-3 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 33, Refractories.
ISO 21068 consists of the following parts, under the general title Chemical analysis of silicon-carbide-
containing raw materials and refractory products:
⎯ Part 1: General information and sample preparation
⎯ Part 2: Determination of loss on ignition, total carbon, free carbon and silicon carbide, total and free silica
and total and free silicon
⎯ Part 3: Determination of nitrogen, oxygen and metallic and oxidic constituents
