Copper and copper alloys - Determination of copper content - Part 2: Electrolytic determination of copper in materials with copper content higher than 99,80 % EN 16117-2:2012

Publication date:   Apr 17, 2013

Scope

This European Standard specifies an electrolytic method for the determination of the copper content of unalloyed copper materials with a copper content higher than 99,80 % (mass fraction) in the form of castings, wrought and unwrought products.
Silver, if present, is co-deposited and is reported as copper. Approximately one-half of any selenium and tellurium present will co-deposit. Bismuth, if present, also interferes.
