BS EN 10361:2015

What is BS EN 10361 - Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric method about?  

BS EN 10361 is a European standard on alloyed steel that discusses the method for the determination of nickel content in alloyed steel. 

BS EN 10361 specifies an inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric method for the determination of nickel content (mass fraction) between 5,0 % and 25,0 % in alloyed steels. The method does not apply to alloyed steels having niobium and/or tungsten contents higher than 0,1 %. 

Who is BS EN 10361 - Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric method for?  

BS EN 10361 on the determination of nickel content is relevant to: 

• Manufacturer of alloyed steels 
• Metallurgist 
• Metal testing laboratories  

Why should you use BS EN 10361 - Inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric method? 

ICP-OES (Inductively coupled plasma - optical emission spectrometry) is a technique in which the composition of elements in (mostly water-dissolved) samples can be determined using plasma and a spectrometer. 

BS EN 10361 provides guidance on reagents, apparatus, sampling, test procedure, plasma optical emission spectrometer, the composition of the samples used for the validation precision test. 

As a user of BS EN 10361, you can be ensured of the inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometric method. With obedience and compliance to BS EN 10361, you can efficiently determine nickel content in alloyed steels. BS EN 10361 helps you in improving the quality of alloyed steel. BS EN 10361 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of determination of nickel content.
