5.18 Multi-elemental standard solution of copper and phosphorus
Transfer 5,0 ml of the copper standard solution (5.15) and 10,0 ml of the phosphorus standard solution
(5.12) into a 100 ml one-mark volumetric flask, dilute to the volume with nitric acid solution (5.5) and mix.
1 ml of this standard solution respectively contains 50 µg of copper and 25 µg of phosphorus.
5.19 Multi-elemental standard solution of manganese and chromium
Transfer 10,0 ml of the manganese standard solution (5.13) and 25,0 ml of the chromium standard
solution (5.14) into a 100 ml one-mark volumetric flask, dilute to the volume with water and mix.
1 ml of this standard solution respectively contains 0,10 mg of manganese and 0,25 mg of chromium.
6 Apparatus
6.1 General
Ordinary laboratory apparatus and the following.
All volumetric glassware shall be class A and calibrated in accordance with ISO 385, ISO 648 or
ISO 1042, as appropriate.
6.1.1 Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) beakers, of capacity 250 ml.
6.1.2 Polypropylene volumetric flasks, of capacity 100 ml.
6.1.3 Optical emission spectrometer (OES), equipped with ICP.
The spectrometer shall be equipped with a nebulization system. The instrument used will be
satisfactory if, after optimizing in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, it meets the
performance requirements given in 6.2.1 to 6.2.5.
The spectrometer can be either a simultaneous or a sequential one. If a sequential spectrometer can be
equipped with an extra arrangement for simultaneous measurement of the internal reference element
line, it can be used with the internal reference element method. If the sequential spectrometer is not
equipped with this arrangement, an internal reference element cannot be used and an alternative
method without an internal reference element should be applied.
