Description

This Standard specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of manganese content between 0.002% and 2.1% in copper alloys containing a maximum of 10% aluminium, 80% copper, 5% iron, 30% nickel, 3% silicon, 10% tin and 40% zinc.

This standard has been reconfirmed in Australia in 2016 and remains current in New Zealand.

Scope

This Standard specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method for the analysis of manganese in copper base alloys. The method is applicable to copper alloys containing manganese in the range 0.002% to 2.1%. The method has been found satisfactory in the presence of the following elements up to the percentage concentrations indicated: 

• Aluminium - 10%
• Copper - 80%
• Iron - 5%
• Nickel - 30%
• Silicon - 3%
• Tin - 10%
• Zinc - 40%
