Steel and iron - Determination of chromium content - Potentiometric or visual titration method (ISO 4937:2024)
This document specifies a method for the determination of chromium in steel and iron by potentiometric or visual titration.
The method is applicable to chromium contents between 0,25 % (mass fraction) and 35 % (mass fraction). If vanadium is present, the visual titration is applicable only to test portions containing less than 3 mg of vanadium.
NOTE The visual titration can be applicable to test portion containing between 3 mg and 6 mg of vanadium.

Aciers et fontes - Détermination du chrome - Méthode par titrage potentiométrique ou visuel (ISO 4937:2024)
Le présent document spécifie une méthode de détermination par titrage potentiométrique ou visuel du chrome dans les aciers et les fontes.
La méthode est applicable aux teneurs en chrome comprises entre 0,25 % (en masse) et 35 % (en masse). En présence de vanadium, le titrage visuel ne s'applique qu'aux prises d'essai contenant moins de 3 mg de vanadium.
NOTE Le titrage visuel peut être applicable aux prises d'essai contenant entre 3 mg et 6 mg de vanadium.

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are described
in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the different types
of ISO document should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the editorial rules of the
ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
ISO draws attention to the possibility that the implementation of this document may involve the use of (a)
patent(s). ISO takes no position concerning the evidence, validity or applicability of any claimed patent
rights in respect thereof. As of the date of publication of this document, ISO had not received notice of (a)
patent(s) which may be required to implement this document. However, implementers are cautioned that
this may not represent the latest information, which may be obtained from the patent database available at
www.iso.org/patents. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and expressions
related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to the World Trade
Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 17, Steel, Subcommittee SC 1, Methods of
determination of chemical composition, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization
(CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 459/SC 2, Methods of chemical analysis for iron and steel, in accordance
with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 4937:1986), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— introduction of an optional electrode;
— re-assessment of the precision data;
— re-confirmation of upper limit of vanadium content in test portions for visual titration.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A
