What is BS EN 15703-2 – Copper and copper alloys about?

BS EN 15703-2 is an international standard that discusses the flame atomic absorption spectrometric methods (FAAS) for copper and copper alloys. Copper and Copper alloys are some of the most versatile engineering materials available. The combination of physical properties such as strength, conductivity, corrosion resistance, machinability, and ductility make copper suitable for many applications.

BS EN 15703-2 specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometric method (FASS) for the determination of the manganese content of copper and copper alloys in the form of unwrought, wrought and cast products. The method is applicable to products having manganese mass fractions between 0,001 0 % and 6,0 %.

Who is BS EN 15703-2 – Copper and copper alloys for?

BS EN 15703-2 on flame atomic absorption spectrometric method applies to:

Manufacturer of copper alloys
Suppliers and distributors of copper and copper alloys
Manufacturer of atomic absorption spectroscopy products

Why should you use BS EN 15703-2 – Copper and copper alloys?

Copper and Copper alloys are some of the most versatile engineering materials available. The combination of physical properties such as strength, conductivity, corrosion resistance, machinability, and ductility make copper suitable for many applications. Atomic absorption (AA) spectroscopy uses the absorption of light to measure the concentration of gas-phase atoms.

BS EN 15703-2 facilitates the use of bracketing methods for spectrometric measurements in which the bracketing method carry out a second measurement on the test portion solution following the procedure, by bracketing between two new calibration solution with a composite similar to that of the calibration solution, but having manganese contents slightly higher and slightly lower than the estimated manganese concentration of the test portion solution.

BS EN 15703-2 gives you content on various manganese stock solutions such as cleaning of manganese metal, preparation of stick solution, manganese standard solution and copper matrix solution. This helps you in determining the manganese content using the flame atomic absorption spectrometric method (FAAS) for copper and copper alloys.
