7、l and chemical testing for fertilizers. For some years the United Kingdom has participated in the standardization of methods of analysing fertilizers through Subcommittee 4, Chemical analysis, of Technical Committee 134, Fertilizers and soil conditioners, of the International Organization for Standa
8、rdization (ISO). As international agreement is reached on the methods, it is proposed to publish them as Sections of BS 5551. The standard is to be published in four Parts, each Part being subdivided into Sections and, where appropriate, Subsections. The four Parts are: Part 1: Terminology and label
9、ling; Part 2: Sampling; Part 3: Physical properties; Part 4: Chemical analysis. Part 4 is to be divided into five Sections as follows: Section 4.1: Determination of nitrogen; Section 4.2: Determination of phosphorous; Section 4.3: Determination of potassium; Section 4.4: Determination of water; Sect
10、ion 4.5: Determination of other constituents. This Subsection of Part4is identical with ISO 5317:1983 “Fertilizers Determination of water-soluble potassium content Preparation of the test solution”. Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has been approved as suitable for
11、 publication 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. Wherever the words “International Standard” appear, referring to this standard, they should be read a
12、s “British Standard”. The comma has been used as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker. Additional information. 1) This British Standard describes a method of test only and should not be used as a specification definin
13、g limits of purity. Reference to the standard should indicate that the method of test used is in accordance with BS 5551-4.3.1. 2) With reference to 6.2, water complying with BS 3978 “Water for laboratory use” is suitable. 3) With reference to clause 5 and 6.1 the phrase “pretreatment of test sample
14、s” (see clause 5) refers solely to the sampling procedures, such as sample division, used to produce “the prepared test sample” (see 6.1) and has no other significance, e.g. chemical significance. Other International Standards in this series are being prepared describing these sampling procedures an
15、d, subject to UK approval, will be published as identical Sections of BS 5551-2. Pending publication of these methods, guidance on sampling may be obtained in BS5309 “Methods for sampling chemical products” Part 1 “Introduction and general principles”, Part 3 “Sampling of liquids” and Part 4 “Sampli
16、ng of solids”.

Bring to the boil and continue boiling for30
22、min. Cool the contents of the flask and transfer to the one-mark volumetric flask (4.2). Dilute to the mark, mix well and filter into a dry beaker. Discard the first50ml of filtrate. 7 Test report The test report for the subsequent determination of the water-soluble potassium content shall include t
