BS EN 10136:2019

This standard BS EN 10136:2019 Steels and cast irons. Determination of nickel content. Flame atomic absorption spectrometric method (FAAS) is classified in these ICS categories:

• 77.080.01 Ferrous metals in general
• 77.040.30 Chemical analysis of metals

This document specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method (FAAS) for the determination of nickel content in steels and cast irons. The method is applicable to nickel contents between 0,004 % (weight percent) and 2,0 % (weight percent). The method can be adapted to lower or higher nickel contents by changing the test portion or the dilution process, provided the criteria in 6.2.2 and 6.2.3 are still met.
