It isthe responsibility of the user of this standard to establishappropriate safety and health practices and determine theapplicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.A1.2 Summary of Test Method
47、A1.2.1 The test sample is dissolved in nitric acid and thesolution diluted to a known volume. An aliquot is introducedinto an electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometer, withbackground correction capability. The absorbance of the reso-nance line energy from the spectrum of the element ismeasured
48、and compared with that of calibration solutions ofthe same element in a matched matrix.A1.3 Significance and UseA1.3.1 This test method is primarily intended to test tough-pitch fire-refined copper for compliance with chemical com-positional requirements of Specification B 216.A1.3.2 It is assumed t
