Non-destructive testing - X-ray diffraction from polycrystalline and amorphous materials - Part 2: Procedures EN 13925-2:2003

Publication date:   Jan 30, 2004

Scope

This standard outlines the basic procedures applied in the X-ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) method. Many of these procedures are common to most types of diffractometer used and type of analysis mentionen in prEN WI 00138079 (General Principles). In the interests of clarity and immediate usability more detail is given for procedures using instruments with Bragg-Brentano geometry and application to phase identification. Aspects of specimen preparation and data quality assessment are included, but the standard remains non-exhaustive.
