Copper and copper alloys - Determination of copper content - Part 1: Electrolytic determination of copper in materials with copper content less than 99,85 % EN 16117-1:2011

Publication date:   Feb 17, 2012

Scope

This European Standard specifies an electrolytic method for the determination of the copper content in copper materials with a copper content less than 99,85 % (mass fraction) in the form of unwrought, wrought and cast products.
Silver, if present, is co-deposited and is reported as copper. Approximately one-half of any selenium and tellurium present will co-deposit. Arsenic, antimony, bismuth and tin, if present, also interfere.
