5、1999 National foreword This Part of BS 4140 is identical with ISO2828:1973 “Aluminium oxide primarily used for the production of aluminium Determination of fluorine content Alizarin complexone and lanthanum chloride spectrophotometric method”, published by the International Organization for Standard
6、ization (ISO). The method supersedes clause17 of Addendum No.3 (1974) to BS4140:1967. Parts17 to19 of this standard collectively supersede Addendum No.3 (1974) to BS4140:1967 which is withdrawn. Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for pub
7、lication as a British Standard without deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those used in British Standards; attention is drawn especially to the following. The comma has been used as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use a full po
8、int on the baseline as the decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use the symbol “L” for litre (and its submultiples) rather than “l”. Wherever the words “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read as “British Standard”. ISO/R 1693:1970, w
9、hich is referred to in the text, has been revised as ISO1693:1976. The Technical Committee has reviewed the provisions of ISO1693:1976 and has decided that they are acceptable for use in conjunction with this standard. Clause4 of BS5050:1974 is related to ISO1693:1976. This standard prescribes metho
10、ds of test only, and should not be used or quoted as a specification defining limits of purity. Reference to this Part should indicate that the method of test used complies With BS4140-17:1986. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of Britis
11、h Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.
