Nitric Acid-Insoluble Uranium	10 to 18
Extractable Organic Material	19 to 26
Determination of Arsenic	27
Carbonate by CO₂ Gravimetry	28 to 34
Fluoride by Ion-Selective Electrode	35 to 42
Halides by Volhard Titration	43 to 50
Phosphorus by Spectrophotometry	52 to 60
Determination of Silicon	61
Determination of Thorium	62
Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Molybdenum, Titanium, and Vana- dium by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry	63 to 72
Potassium and Sodium by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry	73 to 82
Boron by Spectrophotometry	83 to 92

1.3The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.4This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. A specific precautionary statement is given in Section 7.

1.5This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
