What is BS 6200-5 – Ferrous metal about?
BS 6200-5 is a British standard and a part of the BS 6200 series that discusses the guidelines on statistical procedures for sampling and analysis of iron, steel and other ferrous metals. Iron is a mineral that the body needs for growth and development. Steel is by far the most important, multi-functional and most adaptable of materials.
BS 6200-5 gives guidance on the statistical procedures used during the development of methods for the analysis of iron and steel. It explains the significance of the statistical data given in BS 6200-5. BS 6200-5 Part of BS 6200 also gives guidance on the planning of standardization and precision tests and covers some aspects of the preparation and use of certified reference materials.
Who is BS 6200-5 – Ferrous metal for?
BS 6200-5 on statistical procedures for ferrous metals applies to:
- Manufacturer of steel and iron products
- Quality testing personnel
Why should you use BS 6200-5 – Ferrous metal?
The production of iron from its ore involves an oxidation-reduction reaction carried out in a blast furnace. Steel is by far the most important, multi-functional and most adaptable of materials. A statistical procedure is a method of analyzing or representing statistical data and a procedure for calculating a statistic statistical method.
BS 6200-5 provides you with standardization testing and precision testing for iron, steel and other ferrous metals. Producing these procedures has two stages:
- The first stage is the standardization phase which is intended to:
- Discover and remove technical difficulties
- To produce a clear unambiguous text
- Result in a procedure meeting a preset target for accuracy and precision.
- The second stage uses precision tests to provide data covering the full range of the procedure to demonstrate that the precision obtained by experienced operators is satisfactory.
BS 6200-5 provides you with comprehensive guidance useful throughout the process of production.
