Measurement of the absorption of the 217,0 nm line emitted by a lead hollow-cathode lamp. NOTE During the validation exercise of this standar
22、d method some laboratories have also carried out the measurements at 283 nm line. These measurements showed a satisfactory trueness. However, the number of results produced was too few and, therefore, insufficient for the estimation of the corresponding precision data. 4 Reagents During the analysis
23、, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only distilled water or water of equivalent purity. 4.1 Nitric acid, HNO3( = 1,40 g/ml). 4.2 Nitric acid solution (1 + 1). Add 100 ml of nitric acid (4.1) to 100 ml of water. 4.3 Hydrofluoric acid, HF, 40 % solution ( = 1,13 g/ml). WARNING Hydro

28、b. 4.8 Copper base solution, 20 g/l Cu. Weigh (10 0,01) g of pure, lead-free copper (Pb 10 %, an appropriate mass of this element shall be added to the calibration solutions. The volumes of copper base solution added (4.8) have been calculated to compensate for chemical interaction effects of copper
29、 in test solutions of copper or high-copper alloys. Overcompensation may occur if the same volumes are added when the test samples are copper-based alloys where the percentage of copper is lower. In these cases, the volumes of copper base solution shall be decreased to match the copper content of th
30、e test sample in solution. The lead concentration of the calibration solutions shall be adjusted to suit the sensitivity of the spectrometer used, so that the curve of absorbance as a function of concentration is a straight line.

39、3), switch on the current and allow it to stabilize. Adjust the wavelength in the region of 217,0 nm to minimum absorbance (see NOTE in Clause 3). Following the manufacturers instructions, fit the correct burner, light the flame and allow the burner temperature to stabilize. Taking careful note of t

42、asurement, see NOTE. NOTE For certain types of spectrometer, instead of water it is preferable to use a solution containing the attack reagents, in the same concentrations as in the test portion solutions. 7.4.4 Calibration curve Establish the calibration curve using measured absorbances and corresp
