Standard Test Method for Determination of Metallic Impurities in Uranium Metal or Compounds by DC-Arc Emission Spectroscopy
Available format(s)

Hardcopy , PDF

Language(s)

English

Published date

01-04-2016

1.1This test method describes the steps necessary for the preparation and determination of impurity metals in uranium metal and uranium compounds by DC arc emission spectroscopy.

1.2The method is valid for those materials that can be dissolved in acid or converted to an oxide in a muffle furnace, or both (see Practice C1347).

1.3This method uses the carrier distillation technique to selectively carry the impurities into the arc, leaving the uranium oxide in the electrode. If it is necessary to determine the carrier metal (usually a silver or strontium, or gallium compound) as an impurity, another technique must be chosen for that element.

1.4Units—The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.

1.5This standard may involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
