20、atmospheric CO2 absorption by NaOH, 1.0 N NaOH solutions will need frequent standardization.8. Safety Precautions8.1 Nitric acid is dangerous if handled improperly. It is a strong corrosive acid and a strong oxidizer. Contact with other materialmay cause fire. Avoid inhalation of fumes or mist and a
21、ny contact with skin or eyes.8.2 Clean up all spills immediately by covering the spill with vermiculite or some other inert absorbent material and sweepingit into a pan. Dispose of the vermiculite by flooding with water and discarding in a suitable container. Flush the area with water.9. Sampling9.1
22、 Sampling of nitric acid is not within the scope of this test method. General guidelines for sampling may be found in PracticeE300.9.2 The sample to be analyzed shall be considered to be that sample in a single bottle submitted to the analytical laboratory.10. Procedure10.1 Tare to the nearest 0.1 m
23、g a glass stoppered 250-mL Erlenmeyer flask containing approximately 15 mL of water.10.2 Remove the stopper. Using a suitable pipet, quickly add an appropriate volume of sample (depending on the acid strengthas given in Table 1), while keeping the tip of the pipet just above the surface of the liqui
24、d. Immediately replace the stopper, andreweigh the flask to the nearest 0.1 mg to obtain the weight of the sample.NOTE 3A disposable dropping pipet is convenient for the sample transfer.10.3 Remove the stopper, add 50 mL of water and 4 drops of phenolphthalein indicator solution to the flask, and sw

Report12.1 Report the percent of nitric acid to the nearest 0.01 %.13. Precision and Bias13.1 PrecisionThe following
30、criteria should be used for judging the acceptability of results (Note 4):13.1.1 Repeatability (Single Analyst)The standard deviation for a single determination has been estimated to be 0.0914 %absolute at 54 df. The 95 % limit for the difference between two such runs is 0.26 % absolute.13.1.2 Labor
31、atory Precision (Within-Laboratory, Between-Days Variability), Formerly Called Repeatability)The standarddeviation of results (each the average of duplicates), obtained by the same analyst on different days, has been estimated to be0.0892 % absolute at 27 df. The 95 % limit for the difference betwee
32、n two such averages is 0.25 % absolute.13.1.3 Reproducibility (Multilaboratory)The standard deviation of results (each the average of duplicates), obtained byanalysts in different laboratories, has been estimated to be 0.1720 % absolute at 8 df. The 95 % limit for the difference betweentwo such aver
33、ages is 0.48 % absolute.NOTE 4The preceding precision estimates are based on an interlaboratory study of analyses performed in 1993 to 1994 on three samples of nitricacid with average assays of 56.49 %, 65.54 %, and 69.65 %. One analyst in each of nine laboratories performed duplicate determinations
34、 and repeatedone day later, for a total of 108 determinations.6 Practice E180 was used in developing these precision estimates.13.2 BiasThe bias of this test method cannot be determined unless a suitable reference material becomes available.14. Quality Guidelines14.1 Laboratories shall have a qualit
35、y control system in place.14.1.1 Confirm the performance of the test instrument or test method by analyzing a quality control sample following theguidelines of standard statistical quality control practices.14.1.2 Aquality control sample is a stable material isolated from the production process and
36、representative of the sample beinganalyzed.14.1.3 When QA/QC protocols are already established in the testing facility, these protocols are acceptable when they confirmthe validity of test results.14.1.4 When there are no QA/QC protocols established in the testing facility, use the guidelines descri
37、bed in Guide D6809 orsimilar quality control practices.15.
