Foreword
This European Standard (EN 10184:2006) has been prepared by Technical Committee ECISS/TC 20
“Methods of chemical analysis of ferrous products”, the secretariat of which is held by SIS.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by August 2006, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn
at the latest by August 2006.
This European Standard supersedes EN 10184:1989.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following
countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic,
Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania,
Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and United Kingdom.
1 Scope
This European Standard specifies a method for the molybdenum blue spectrophotometric determination of
phosphorus in non-alloyed steels and irons.
The method is applicable to non-alloyed steels and irons with phosphorus contents from 0,005 % to 0,25 %
(m/m).
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced
document (including any amendments) applies.
EN ISO 14284, Steel and iron — Sampling and preparation of samples for the determination of chemical
composition (ISO 14284:1996)
3 Principle
Dissolution of a test portion in nitric and hydrochloric acids and controlled addition of perchloric acid.
Formation of the phosphomolybdate complex after removal of silicon and arsenic and reduction with
hydrazine sulphate to molybdenum blue.
Spectrophotometric measurement of the blue complex at a wavelength of 680 nm or 825 nm.
4 Reagents
4.1 General
During the analysis, unless otherwise stated, only reagents of recognized analytical grade shall be used and
only distilled water or water of equivalent purity.
Blank tests shall verify that the relevant reagents are free from phosphorus. Whenever necessary, the
results shall be corrected accordingly. Grades giving high blank values are unsuitable and should be
discarded.
4.2 Hydrochloric acid
ρ about 1,19 g/ml.
4.3 Nitric acid
ρ about 1,40 g/ml.
4.4 Perchloric acid
ρ about 1,67 g/ml.
4.5 Hydrofluoric acid
ρ about 1,13 g/ml, diluted 1 + 9.
4.6 Hydrobromic acid
ρ about 1,47 g/ml, diluted 1 + 1.
4.7 Perchloric acid
ρ about 1,67 g/ml, diluted 42 + 58.
420 ml perchloric acid (4.4) shall be carefully poured into 400 ml of water. Swirl, cool, transfer to a 1000 ml
volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix.
4.8 Sulphuric acid
ρ about 1,84 g/ml, diluted 3 + 37.
37,5 ml sulphuric acid (ρ about 1,84 g/ml) shall be carefully poured into 300 ml water. Swirl, cool and
transfer to a 500 ml volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix.
4.9 Sodium metabisulphite
100 g/l solution.
100 g of dry sodium metabisulphite (Na S O ) shall be dissolved in 500 ml of warm water, filter and collect
2 2 5
the filtrate in a 1000 ml volumetric flask. Cool, dilute to the mark with water and mix.
4.10 Hydrazine sulphate
1,5 g/l solution to be prepared immediately before use.
4.11 Ammonium molybdate
20 g/l solution.
Dissolve 20 g of ammonium molybdate [(NH ) Mo O 4H O] in about 100 ml of diluted sulphuric acid (4.8).
4 6 7 24 2
Dilute to around 500 ml with water. Carefully pour 300 ml of sulphuric acid (4.8) into this solution. Swirl, cool
and transfer to a 1000 ml volumetric flask. Dilute to the mark with water and mix.
4.12 Molybdate reagent
Prepare immediately before use the following mixture:
Add, in order, to a 1000 ml volumetric flask, swirling between additions:
 500 ml of water;
 250 ml of molybdate solution (4.11);
 100 ml of hydrazine sulphate solution (4.10).
Dilute to the mark with water and mix.
