BS EN 12698-2:2007

What is BS EN 12698-2 - XRD methods for chemical analysis of nitride bonded silicon carbide refractories about?

BS EN 12698-2 is a European Standard that describes methods for the determination of mineralogical phases. These phases are typically apparent in nitride and oxy-nitride bonded silicon carbide refractory products using a Bragg-Brentano diffractometer.

BS EN 12698-2 includes details of sample preparation and general principles for qualitative and quantitative analysis of mineralogical phase composition. Quantitative determination of α-Si3N4, β-Si3N4, Si2ON2, AlN, and SiAlON are described under BS EN 12698-2.

Note: For the refinement procedures the total nitrogen content, analysis with BS EN 12698-1 is needed.

Who is BS EN 12698-2 - XRD methods for chemical analysis of nitride bonded silicon carbide refractories for?

BS EN 12698-2 on XRD methods for chemical analysis of nitride bonded silicon carbide refractories is useful for:

• Refractory product Manufacturers
• Materials Engineers
• Any entity involved in the testing of refractory products
