PD ISO/TS 15338:2020

What is ISO 15338 about ? 

ISO 15338 discusses the glow discharge mass spectrometry of surface chemical analysis. ISO 15338 gives procedures for the operation and use of glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS).  

ISO 15338 specifies the difference between operating procedures of several GD-MS systems manufactured by various manufacturers. 

Who is ISO 15338 for ? 

ISO 15338 on glow discharge mass spectrometry is applicable for: 

• Manufacturing of glow discharge mass spectrometry 
• Companies dealing with analysing the surface chemicals 
• Retailers and suppliers of glow discharge mass spectrometry 

Why should you use ISO 15338 ? 

Glow discharge mass spectrometry (GDMS) is a very sensitive and robust analytical tool for monitoring the elemental composition and the impurities in the material down to trace and the ultra-trace mass fraction level. 

ISO 15338 provides you with a detector system that measures the large spread of signal intensities as possible and can be useful in manufacturing the glow discharge mass spectrometry for chemical surface analysis. 

As a buyer of ISO 15338, you can provide routine operations such as cleaning the systems and supporting gas handling that makes the glow discharge mass spectrometry a safer product to use for manufacturing. 

What’s changed since the last update ? 

PD ISO/TS 15338:2020 supersedes DD ISO/TS 15338:2009, which is withdrawn. It includes: 

• This document is more generic and covers fast flow high power sources.
• This document no longer refers to calibration factors specific to one particular instrument type.
