What is BS 6783-3 – Nickel, ferronickel and nickel alloys about?
BS 6783-3 standard is a part of the BS 6783 series that discusses the determination of cobalt in ferronickel by flame atomic absorption spectrometry for sampling and analysis of nickel, ferronickel and nickel alloys. Nickel alloys containing 72-83% nickel have the best soft magnetic properties and are used in transformers, inductors, magnetic amplifiers, magnetic shields and memory storage devices.
BS 6783-3 specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of the cobalt content of ferronickel in the range 0,025 to 2,5 % (m/m).
Who is BS 6783-3 – Nickel, ferronickel and nickel alloys for?
BS 6783-3 on the determination of nickel alloys applies to:
- Manufacturer of nickel alloys
- Quality testing personnel
- Design engineers
Why should you use BS 6783-3 – Nickel, ferronickel and nickel alloys?
Nickel alloys containing 72-83% nickel have the best soft magnetic properties and are used in transformers, inductors, magnetic amplifiers, magnetic shields and memory storage devices. Flame atomic absorption is a very common technique for detecting metals and metalloids in environmental samples. It is very reliable and simple to use.
BS 6783-3 gives you the guidance on the determination of cobalt by atomic absorption spectrometry in an air-acetylene flame at a wavelength of 240,7nm. BS 6783-3 also provides you guidance regarding the sampling and preparation of the laboratory sample are carried out by normal agreed procedures or, in case of a dispute.
With BS 6783-3 you can be ensured that the products consistently meet and exceed quality assurance targets.
