BS 6200-3.33.2:1992

This standard BS 6200-3.33.2:1992 Sampling and analysis of iron, steel and other ferrous metals. Methods of analysis. Determination of tungsten is classified in these ICS categories:

• 77.080.20 Steels

This Subsection of BS 6200 describes a spectrophotometric method for the determination of tungsten in steel. It is suitable for contents of 0.02 % (m/m) to 3.0 % (m/m) but is not recommended for steels with tungsten exceeding 3 % (m/m) or more than 1.5 % (m/m) molybdenum. For these the method given in BS 6200-3.33.1 is more suitable. A correction is required if vanadium is present.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this Subsection of BS 6200 are listed on the inside back cover.

Applicable to tungsten contents from 0.02% to 3.0%.
