Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (IS0
member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through IS0 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. IS0 collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
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.
International Standard IS0 13900 was prepared by Technical Committee ISOFC 17, Steel, Subcommittee SC 1,
Methods of determination of chemical composition.
Annexes A to C of this International Standard are for information only.

Steel - Determination of boron content - Curcumin
spectrophotometric method after distillation
1 scope
This International Standard specifies a method for the determination of the boron content in steel using a curcumin
spectrophotometric method after distillation.
The method is applicable to a boron content of between 0,000 05 % (m/m) and 0,001 0 % (m/m).

Spectrophotometric measurement at a wavelength of about 550 nm.
4 Reagents
During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only grade 2
water as specified in IS0 3696.
4.1 Pure iron, free from boron or with a known residual amount of boron.
4.2 Hydrochloric acid, p about 1,19 g/ml.
4.3 Nitric acid, p about 1,40 g/ml.
4.4 Sulfuric acid, p about 1,84 g/ml.
4.5 Orthophosphoric acid, p about 1,71 g/ml, boron content less than 0,02 pg/ml.
4.6 Acetic acid, free from aldehyde, p about 1,05 g/ml.
In order to test the acetic acid for the presence of aldehyde, pour 20 ml of acetic acid (p about I,05 g/ml) and 1 ml
of potassium permanganate solution (1 g/l) into a 50 ml beaker. In the absence of aldehyde, the initial violet colour
of potassium permanganate will persist ; otherwise the solution will become an easily identifiable brown colour after
15 min.
4.7 Acid mixture A
Add one volume of hydrochloric acid (4.2) to two volumes of acetic acid (4.6).
4.8 Acid mixture B
While cooling under water and swirling, add in small portions a volume of sulfuric acid (4.4) to an equal volume of
acetic acid (4.6).
4.9 Sodium hydroxide, 8 g/l solution.
4.10 Methanol, minimum assay 99,6 % (VW).
4.11 Boron, standard solution.

Weigh, to the nearest 0,000 1 g, 0,286 0 g of orthoboric acid (H,BO,). Place in a 250 ml beaker and dissolve in
about 200 ml of water. Transfer the solution quantitatively to a 500 ml one-mark volumetric flask. Dilute to the
mark with water and mix. Store in a polypropylene bottle (5.2).
1 ml of this stock solution contains 0,lO mg of boron.
