BS EN 13925-1:2003

What is BS EN 13925-1 - Method and technique selection for leak testing about?

BS EN 13925-1 is a standard that covers method and technique selection for leak testing, ensuring quality assurance in XRPD laboratories and allowing performance testing and monitoring of instruments and the comparison of results from different instruments.

BS EN 13925-1 specifies the general principles of X-ray diffraction from polycrystalline and amorphous materials.

BS EN 13925-1 material testing method has traditionally been referred to as “X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD)”, and is now applied to powders, bulk materials, thin-film, and others.

As the method can be used for various types of materials and to obtain a large variety of information, BS EN 13925-1 reviews a large number of analyses but remains non-exhaustive.

Who is BS EN 13925-1 - Method and technique selection for leak testing for?

BS EN 13925-1 on method and technique selection for leak testing applies to:

• NDT services
• XRPD labs
• Leak testing services
• Testing personnel and NDT inspectors
• Testing houses and labs

Why should you use BS EN 13925-1 - Method and technique selection for leak testing?

X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD) is a Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) method for determining a range of physical and chemical characteristics of materials. These include the type and quantities of phases present, the crystallographic unit cell and structure, crystallographic texture, macro stress, crystallite size and micro-strain, and the electron radial distribution function.

BS EN 13925-1 provides users guidance on types of analysis, including phase identification, quantitative phase analysis, estimation of crystalline and amorphous fractions, determination of lattice parameters and crystal structures, refinement of crystal structures and more, enabling users to analyse material characteristics using XRPD.

BS EN 13925-1 provides users guidance on general principles of X-ray powder diffraction (XRPD), characteristics of powder diffraction line profiles, types of analysis, special experimental conditions and relationships between the XRPD standards, enabling users to perform routine testing and analysis, ensuring accuracy and precision in testing applications.

With obedience and compliance to BS EN 13925-1, users can standardize the criteria for method and technique selection of leak testing ensuring quality assurance, usability and information gathering in the NDT testing applications.
