BS 6068-2.44 is the 43rd section of the multi-series standard that specifies methods and procedures for the determination of potassium content by flame emission spectrometry method.
BS 6068-2.44 specifies a method for the determination of dissolved sodium and potassium by flame emission spectrometry (FES).
BS 6068-2.44 is intended for the analysis of raw and drinking waters.
BS 6068-2.44 is applicable to water samples with a mass concentration of sodium and potassium of up to 10 mg/l. For samples containing higher concentrations of sodium and potassium, a smaller test portion is taken for analysis. The lower limits of determination are less than 0,1 mg/l for both sodium and potassium.
BS 6068-2.44 on the Physical, chemical and biochemical methods are useful for:
Flame emission spectrophotometry relies on the characteristic emission of light by atoms of many metallic elements given sufficient energy, as in a hot flame.
BS 6068-2.44 provides methods for characterizing water quality based on physical, chemical, and biochemical measures for determining the potassium content in water using the flame emission spectrometry method.
BS 6068-2.44 provides you with apparatus, sampling, transport, storage, and preparation of test pieces, preparation of reagents and apparatus, pre-treatment of test pieces, test procedure, and much more.
The test methods and procedures provided by BS 6068-2.44 assist you in the determination of potassium in the water and ensure reducing the risk of severe health issues.
With obedience and compliance to BS 6068-2.44, you can enhance the efficacy of the water and manufacture a standardized product.
