What is BS EN 15063-2 – Copper and copper alloys about?
BS EN 15063-2 is a European standard and a part of the BS EN 15063 series that the routine method by wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) for copper and copper alloys. Copper and Copper alloys are some of the most versatile engineering materials available.
BS EN 15063-2 specifies a routine method for analysing copper and copper alloys by wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry. This method applies to:
- All elements detectable by XRF: impurities, minor and main constituents
- Analysis of either unwrought, including chill-cast or wrought products.
Who is BS EN 15063-2 – Copper and copper alloys for?
BS EN 15063-2 on X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) for routine method applies to:
- Manufacturer of copper products
- Quality testing personnel
Why should you use BS EN 15063-2 – Copper and copper alloys?
X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) confers the ability to analyse solid samples non-destructively through X-radiation. The orderliness and clarity of its emission spectrum and its great accuracy and precision make this technique a geochemical method of choice in mineralogy and investigation of the chemical composition of earth materials.
BS EN 15063-2 provides the concentration of the elements which helps you in determining the measured intensities from the sample under test to analytical curves prepared from certified reference materials (CRMs) or reference materials (RMs). Fixed channels or a sequential system are used to provide simultaneous or sequential determinations of element concentrations.
BS EN 15063-2 provides you with comprehensive guidance useful throughout the process of the routine method.
