The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated refer-ences, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. ISO 1811-1, Copper and copper alloys — Selection and preparation of samples for chemical analysis — Part 1: Sampling of cast unwrought products ISO 1811-2, Copper and copper alloys — Selection and preparation of samples for chemical analysis — Part 2: Sampling of wrought products and castings NOTE Informative reference to documents used in the preparation of this standard, and cited at the appropriate places in the text, are listed in the Bibliography. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 reference material material, one or more of whose property values are sufficiently homogeneous and well established to be used for the calibration of an apparatus, the assessment of a measurement method, or for assigning values to materials 3.2 certified reference material reference material, accompanied by a certificate, one or more of whose property values are certified by at least one procedure which establishes its traceability to an accurate realization of the unit in which the prop-erty values are expressed, and for which each certified value is accompanied by an uncertainty at a stated level of confidence 3.3 test sample representative quantity of material for testing purposes 3.4 drift control samples spectrometer control samples series of homogeneous specimens that contain all the elements which have been calibrated and that cover the low and high concentrations of the calibration range for each element, to be used in detecting variations over time NOTE The same samples can also be used for statistical process control (SPC) of the instrument. 3.5 recalibration samples very homogeneous samples at both low and high concentrations in the calibration ranges to be used for re-calibration of the spectrometer
EN 15079:2007 (E)
5 NOTE 1 These samples are measured during the calibration procedure and the intensities obtained are stored in the computer as indicated in the manufacturer's instructions. NOTE 2 No chemical analyses are necessary, but the homogeneity of the samples should be carefully tested. 3.6 quality control sample sample with known composition which is analysed in the same way as the test sample to check the trueness of the analytical results 4 Principle Measurement of the intensity of the radiation, whose wavelength is characteristic of each element, generated by the spark resulting from the application of an electrical discharge between the sample, as one electrode, and an inert counter-electrode. The intensity measured is compared with the calibration of the element intensities and then converted to the element content. 5 Apparatus 5.1 Optical emission spectrometer Spectrometer with spark source capable of measuring the intensities of the optical radiation emitted at specific wavelengths by the elements present in the material. The wavelengths generally used are given in Annex A (informative). 5.2 Apparatus for sample surface preparation The most common surface preparation techniques for copper and copper alloys are turning, milling or grinding, the last only for copper alloys, provided that the composition of the surface shall not be influenced. The lathe, milling machine or any other machines used for surface preparation shall be able to produce a sur-face that conforms to the requirements of 7.1. WARNING — The appropriate safety recommendations for the use of mechanical apparatus must be observed. These operations shall be carried out only by properly trained personnel wearing appro-priate personal protective equipment. 6 Sampling Sampling shall be carried out in accordance with ISO 1811-1 or ISO 1811-2, as appropriate. The sample needs to be sufficiently homogeneous with regard to the spark impact. The analytical surface should be free of pores, cracks, sinkholes and slag inclusions.
EN 15079:2007 (E) 6 7 Procedure 7.1 Surface preparation 7.1.1 The surface of the sample shall be prepared to a finish that is sufficiently flat and smooth in order to tighten the sample chamber, reasonably free from contaminants, pores, cracks, inclusions and shrinkage cavi-ties which might otherwise affect analytical results. In order to avoid variation of results due to the influence of surface finish, the same method of preparation shall be used for all samples. To avoid cross-contamination between different sample materials, for example pure copper and copper alloys, all relevant components of the machine shall be thoroughly cleaned before use or separate tools shall be used. Once the surface has been prepared, avoid any contamination, for example fingerprints. Measurements shall be carried out soon after surface preparation. Samples should be stored, until the time of later measurement, in a desiccator. 7.1.2 The turning, milling or grinding shall be carried out at a suitable speed to avoid undue heating of the sample surface, which might otherwise lead to bias in analysis. Any lubricants (e.g. propanol) used shall be selected to ensure that they do not affect the analytical result. 7.2 Calibration procedures 7.2.1 General 7.2.1.1 Calibration process The calibration process is subdivided into calibration and drift compensation by recalibration. 7.2.1.2 Range of calibration The range of calibration for an element shall extend well below the minimum content reported in the list of al-loys composition and above the maximum concentration reported in the same list, taking into account that the lowest limit should be at least three times the detection limit. 7.2.1.3 Number of sparks on calibration samples The number of sparks carried out on a reference material for calibration shall be not less than four. The spark areas shall be distributed over the prepared surface. Centre and border of the sample have to be avoided. All measurements shall be examined; if any measurement is obviously defective, further sparks shall be carried out to obtain the minimum four acceptable measurements. The average of the four acceptable measurements is used for calibration. NOTE The influence of temperature is very important for direct measurement methods. The sample should be cooled to ambient temperature between each spark. 7.2.2 Calibration The calibration of the spectrometer is carried out using certified reference materials to calculate calibration functions from which the analysis of test samples can be obtained. The calibration functions are usually stored within a computer, integrated to the spectrometer. This calibration functions are 1st or 2nd degree mathematical equations.
EN 15079:2007 (E)
7 The calibration is normally done when the apparatus is installed. The calibration shall be in accordance with the spectrometer manufacturer's instruction manual, using the appropriate certified reference materials, if available. If no certified reference materials are available, reference materials with an accurate analysis shall be used. The trueness of the analytical procedure is checked by measuring a set of certified reference materials or — if not available — a set of reference materials not used in the calibration. These reference materials shall cover at least the low, mid and high points of the calibration range for each element. 7.2.3 Recalibration Drifts of the spectrometer readings shall be corrected using a recalibration procedure as described in the manufacturer's instruction manual. Recalibrations can be done either for all analytical channels (global
recalibration), or only for individual analytical channels (selective recalibration). Recalibration can either be done periodically or due to a deviation from statistical process control (SPC) limits (see 7.3
