DIN EN 15063-1:2015-03 EN 15063-1:2014 (E) 4 Introduction Wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (XRF) has been used for several decades as an important analytical tool for production analysis. XRF is characterised by its speed and high precision over a wide
28、concentration range and as the XRF-method in most cases is used as a relative method, the limitations are often connected to the quality of the calibration samples. The technique is well established and most of the physical fundamentals are well known. This guideline is intended to be used for the a
29、nalysis of copper and copper alloys but it may also be applied to other materials. DINEN 15063-1:2015-03EN 15063-1:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard provides guidance on the concepts and procedures for the calibration and analysis of copper and copper alloys by wavelength dispersive X-ray fl
30、uorescence spectrometry. 2 Principle An appropriately prepared test sample is irradiated by an X-ray beam of high energy. The secondary X-rays produced are dispersed by means of crystals and the intensities are measured by detectors at selected characteristic wavelengths. Concentrations of elements
31、are determined by relating the measured intensities of test samples to calibration curves prepared from reference materials. 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 reference material RM material, sufficiently homogeneous and stable w

33、 more specified properties, accompanied by a certificate, that provides the value of the specified property, its associated uncertainty, and a statement of metrological traceability SOURCE: ISO GUIDE 30:1992/Amd.1:2008, definition 2.2 3.3 test sample representative quantity of material for testing p

35、calibration range for each element, used to detect variations over time in these points Note 1 to entry: Drift control samples can also be used for statistical process control (SPC) of the instrument. 3.6 recalibration samples samples at both low and high points in the calibration ranges used to rec
36、alibrate the spectrometer Note 1 to entry: These samples are measured during the calibration procedure and the intensities obtained are stored in the computer according to the manufacturers instructions. DIN EN 15063-1:2015-03 EN 15063-1:2014(E)6 Note 2 to entry: No chemical analyses are necessary,
37、but the homogeneity of these samples should be carefully evaluated. 3.7 calibration process to establish the curve(s) by measuring and calculating the best fit of net intensities for elemental concentrations of a number of calibration samples 3.8 recalibration adjusting instrumental output to confor
38、m to the calibration Note 1 to entry: To compensate for day to day instrumental variation, a set of recalibration samples are measured at the minimum low concentration and at a high concentration for each element (two-points recalibration). The measured intensities are compared to the initial measur
39、ed intensities stored during the calibration procedure and the recalibration coefficients are calculated. Calibration constants are not changed. 3.9 reference measurements measurements carried out to determine intensities for reference materials Note 1 to entry: Initial intensities for the reference
40、 materials are stored during the calibration procedure and the intensities are updated to compensate for day to day variations. 3.10 spectral background background caused by radiation energy of a wavelength corrected for its position in the spectrum, but not directly related to the desired observati

42、. 3.12 limit of detection minimum concentration at which the signal generated by a given element can be positively recognised with a specified confidence level above any background signals Note 1 to entry: See Annex A. 3.13 lower limit of detection calculated minimum concentration based on counting
43、statistical error at which the signal generated by a given element can be positively recognised, with a specified confidence level, above any background signals Note 1 to entry: See Annex A. 3.14 limit of quantification smallest concentration that can be determined with a specified confidence level
44、related to the limit of detection by a factor dependent on the method Note 1 to entry: See Annex A. DIN EN 15063-1:2015-03 EN 15063-1:2014 (E) 7 3.15 sensitivity rate of change of signal with change in concentration Note 1 to entry: See Annex A. Sensitivity is expressed as counts per second percent,
45、 and derived by difference in signals between a sample with a high concentration and one with a low concentration divided by the difference in concentrations. 4 Instrumentation 4.1 Principles of X-ray fluorescence spectrometers The principles of two different X-ray fluorescence spectrometer concepts

Table 1 compares
48、 these two types. More favourable measuring conditions are usually obtained for elements with a low atomic number (Z 20) with an end-window tube due to the thinner window. Different high purity elements such as Rh, Ag, W, Cr or Au are used as anode materials. For analysing copper and copper alloys, rhodium is usually used as the anode material in a multipurpose tube as it provides good excitation conditions for all elements of interest. If possible, the anode material should not be the same as the element to be
