| Bismuth, Cadmium, Cobalt, Copper, Iron, Lead, Manganese, Silver, and Zinc by the Flame Atomic Absorption Method |
| Carbon, Total, by the Combustion-Instrumental Method |
| Nickel by the Dimethylglyoxime Gravimetric Method |
| Nitrogen by the Inert Gas Fusion Thermal Conductivity Method |
| Oxygen by the Inert Gas Fusion Method |
| Sulfur by the Infrared Absorption Method |
| Sulfur by the Methylene Blue Spectrophotometric Method After Generation of Hydrogen Sulfide |
