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 documents 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).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www. iso.o rg/patents).
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.
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 4945:1977), which has been technically
revised. The following changes have been made:
— the scope and applicable range has been expanded as a result of the interlaboratory test;
— addition of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate for the treatment of the insoluble residue.
Any feedback or questions on this document should be directed to the user’s national standards body. A

5 Reagents
During the analysis, unless otherwise specified, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and
only freshly prepared grade 2 water as specified in ISO 3696.
5.1 Hydrochloric acid solution, 1 + 1.
Add 500 ml of hydrochloric acid (ρ approximately 1,19 g/ml) to 500 ml of water and mix.
5.2 Sulphuric acid, ρ approximately 1,84 g/ml, free from nitrogen compounds.
It is preferable to prepare the acid by evaporating until the fume of sulphuric acid appears and to
continue fuming for 20 min to 30 min at the time of use.
5.3 Sulphuric acid solution, approximately 0,02 mol/l.
Add 30 ml of sulphuric acid (5.2) little by little into about 700 ml of water. After cooling, make up the
volume to 1 l with water, and mix. Dilute 40 ml of this solution to 1 l with water and mix.
5.4 Sodium hydroxide, 500 g/l solution.
Add cautiously, while stirring and cooling, about 900 ml of water into a polyethylene bottle containing
500 g of sodium hydroxide pellets. Cool, dilute to 1 l with water and mix.
5.5 Sodium hydroxide, 7,5 g/l solution.
Dilute 15 ml of sodium hydroxide (5.4) to 1 l with water and mix.
5.6 Potassium sulfate, K SO .
