What is BS EN 12441-10 – Zinc and zinc alloys about?
BS EN 12441-10 is a European standard and a part of the BS EN 12441 series that discusses the spectrophotometric method for zinc and zinc alloys. Zinc (Zn) is used to make several alloys due to its galvanizing and sacrificial properties.
BS EN 12441-10 specifies a spectrophotometric method for the determination of chromium and titanium in zinc alloys. It is applicable to the products specified in EN 988, EN 1774 and EN 12844. It is suitable for the determination of chromium and titanium contents (mass fractions) between 0,05 % and 0,50 %.
Who is BS EN 12441-10 – Zinc and zinc alloys for?
BS EN 12441-10 on spectrophotometric method applies to:
- Manufacturer of zinc alloys
- Quality testing personnel
- Chemical engineer
Why should you use BS EN 12441-10 – Zinc and zinc alloys?
Spectrophotometry is a method to measure how much a chemical substance absorbs light by measuring the intensity of light as a beam of light passes through a sample solution. The basic principle is that each compound absorbs or transmits light over a certain range of wavelengths.
BS EN 12441-10 lets you know about chromium and titanium. Chromium helps you in determining the spectrophotometry of the violet chromium diphenylcarbazide complex. And titanium helps you in determining by spectrophotometry of the red chromotropic acid titanium complex, formed in a solution buffered at pH 2,9.
BS EN 12441-10 navigates you through the procedures like test portion, blank test, preparation of the test solution and calibration for the determination of chromium and titanium in zinc alloys.
With obedience and compliance to BS EN 12441-10, you can efficiently conduct the spectrophotometric method for the zinc and zinc alloys.
