What is BS EN 14935 – Copper and copper alloys about?
BS EN 14935 is a European standard that discusses the ETA-AAS method for copper and copper alloys. Copper and Copper alloys are some of the most versatile engineering materials available.
BS EN 14935 specifies two different electrothermal atomization atomic absorption spectrometric methods (ET AAS) for the determination of silver, arsenic, bismuth, cadmium, cobalt, chromium, iron, manganese, nickel, lead, antimony, selenium, tin, tellurium and zinc in copper (greater than 99,85 %) in the form of unwrought, wrought and cast products.
Who is BS EN 14935 – Copper and copper alloys for?
BS EN 14935 on the ETA-AAS method applies to:
- Manufacturer of copper alloys
- Quality testing personnel
Why should you use BS EN 14935 – Copper and copper alloys?
Copper and Copper alloys are some of the most versatile engineering materials available. The combination of physical properties such as strength, conductivity, corrosion resistance, machinability and ductility make copper suitable for a wide range of applications. ETA-AAS provides much higher sensitivity (typically parts per billion level, or picograms on a mass basis) compared to flame AAS because the atoms are concentrated in a relatively small volume and its high-(essentially 100%) atomization efficiency.
BS EN 14935 provides you with atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) which is a technique that helps you for measuring the concentrations of metallic elements in different materials. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 14935, you can efficiently conduct the ETA-AAS method for the determination of impurities in pure copper for copper and copper alloys.
