27、he International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical commit

ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotech

In particular the different approval criteria needed for the different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted

34、uctivity detection method1 ScopeThis International Standard describes a procedure for measuring the total hydrogen content of UO2and PuO2powders (up to 2 000 g/g oxide) and of UO2and (U,Gd)O2and (U,Pu)O2pellets (up to 10 g/g oxide). The total hydrogen content results from adsorbed water, water of cr

35、ystallization, hydrocarbon, and other hydrogenated compounds which can exist as impurities in the fuel.2 Normative referencesThe following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cit

36、ed applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.ISO/IEC Guide 98-3:2008, Uncertainty of measurement Part 3: Guide to the expression of uncertainty in measurement (GUM: 1995)3 PrincipleThe total hydrogen content is determined using

37、a hydrogen analyser. The hydrogen analyser is based on the carrier gas method using argon or nitrogen as carrier gas. The samples to be analysed are heated up to a temperature of more than 1 770 C in a graphite crucible. At that temperature, all volatile components are removed. The hydrogen containi

38、ng compounds are cracked and released as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon monoxide. The released gas is purified in the carrier gas stream, for example by oxidation and adsorption columns. The hydrogen is separated by chromatographic means and analysed in a thermal conductivity cell.4 Interfer

39、enceThe temperature of 1 770 C should be reached in a short time, within approximately 5 s; if not, the decomposition of the released water to hydrogen and oxygen might not be complete.At temperatures of more than 2 200 C, carbon dioxide is released because of a reduction of UO2by graphite according

40、 to the reaction below; carbon dioxide will interfere with the thermal conductivity measurement.UO2+ C UO2-x+ x/2 CO25 Reagents and materialsUse reagents of recognized analytical grade. The reagents and materials below serve as examples to be used according to manufacturer recommendation.5.1 Carrier

41、 gas. Use argon with a purity of a volume fraction 99,995 % or nitrogen with a purity of a volume fraction 99,998 %.INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 15651:2015(E) ISO 2015 All rights reserved 1BS EN ISO 15651:2017ISO 15651:2015(E)5.2 Calibration gas. If calibration is performed with gas, use Argon or nitr

42、ogen with certified hydrogen content or carrier gas mixed with a known amount of hydrogen with a purity of a volume fraction 99,999 %.5.3 Reference material.1)If calibration or calibration check is performed with a standard material, use a reference material with certified hydrogen content (e.g. tit

43、anium or zirconium).5.4 Copper(II) oxide, CuO purifies the carrier gas (Ar/N2), converting H2to H2O.5.5 Absorption media for H2O. After converting H2to H2O (5.4), anhydrone Mg(ClO4)2 is used to trap H2O.5.6 Oxidation reagent for CO, Schutze reagent (iodine pentoxide over silica gel) preceded by Hopc

44、alite manganese oxide/copper(II) oxide oxidizes CO to CO2present in the carrier gas or extracted during measurement.5.7 Absorption media for CO2,sodium hydroxide over clay or equivalent will then absorb the CO2.5.8 Flux reagents for reference material. Tin, copper, or nickel granules are used as flu

45、x to accelerate the melting of reference material.6 Apparatus6.1 Hydrogen analyser. It will consist in a furnace capable to reach temperature of at least 2 200 C, a thermal conductivity cell and gas purifying systems.6.2 High purity graphite crucible, suitable for the appropriate sample types.The im

46、purity content should not exceed 2 g/g.6.3 Hydrogen free tin, copper, or nickel capsules.6.4 Balance, with precision of 1 mg.7 Sampling7.1 Sampling procedure7.1.1 PowdersSampling is done with a tube shaped powder sampler having an inner diameter of more than 2,5 times of the maximum powder particle

47、size. The sample shall be exposed to ambient conditions for not longer than 5 min because alterations of the powder sample due to moisture adsorption or desorption or oxidation have to be avoided. The sample has to be stored in tight containers. The gas volume in the container should be as low as po

48、ssible. In case the analysis is not performed immediately after the sampling, the sample mass has to be controlled before and after storage period prior to the analysis. These precautions can be relaxed if the analysis process is made under controlled gas environment (glove box environment).1) Refer
