THE DETERMINATION OF FREE CARBON IN BERYLLIUM METAL (BY IGNITION WITH A GASOMETRIC FINISH)

Technical Report · Sun Mar 01 04:00:00 EST 1959

OSTI ID:4242398

The sample is dissolved in sulfuric acid. The solution is filtered and the residue is washed, dried, and ignited in a stream of oxygen. The carbon dioxide produced is measured by means of a gasometric finish. The method is applicable to beryllium flake, powder, swarf, and ingot. Provided that the sample is homogeneous, the precision obtainable is of the order of plus or minus 10% but plus or minus 30 ppm at low levels (< 300 ppm). The lower limit of detection is approximately 30 ppm. (auth)
