What is BS 6200-3.31.1 – Iron and steel about?
BS 6200-3.31.1 standard is a part of the BS 6200 series that discusses the volumetric method of steel and cast iron for the sampling and analysis of iron, steel and other ferrous metals. It is commonly used to determine the unknown concentration of a known reactant. Volumetric analysis is often referred to as titration, a laboratory technique in which one substance of known concentration and volume is used to react with another substance of unknown concentration.
BS 6200-3.31.1 describes a volumetric method for the determination of tin in steel and cast iron. The method is applicable to tin contents from0.005 % (m/m) to 0.25 % (m/m).
Who is BS 6200-3.31.1 – Iron and steel for?
BS 6200-3.31.1 on volumetric method for steel and cast iron applies to:
- Chemical engineers
- Manufacturer of steel and casting irons
- Quality testing personnel
Why should you use BS 6200-3.31.1 – Iron and steel?
It is commonly used to determine the unknown concentration of a known reactant. Volumetric analysis is often referred to as titration, a laboratory technique in which one substance of known concentration and volume is used to react with another substance of unknown concentration.
By the volumetric method, BS 6200-3.31.1 provides you with the determination of tin for steel and cast iron which includes: Preparation of the test solution, co-precipitation of tin and molybdenum sulphides, co-precipitation of tin and iron hydroxides, reduction of tin and titration of tin. This determination helps you in the volumetric method of steel and cast iron for sampling and analysis of iron, steel and other ferrous metals.
BS 6200-3.31.1 exemplifies the required volumetric methods that help you achieve the sampling and analysis of iron, steel and other ferrous metals.
