Overview
EN 15022-3:2006 - published by CEN - specifies a flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) method for determining tin (Sn) content in copper and copper alloys (unwrought, wrought and cast) when tin is present at low mass fractions (0.001 % to 0.6 %). The standard defines sample preparation, reagents, instrumentation and measurement procedures to obtain traceable, reproducible tin determinations using FAAS with a nitrous-oxide/acetylene flame and a tin hollow‑cathode lamp (recommended line 286.3 nm).
Key topics
- Scope & applicability: Designed for low tin concentrations in a range of copper product forms; sampling per ISO 1811-1 / ISO 1811-2.
- Principle: Dissolve a defined test portion in hydrochloric acid and hydrogen peroxide, extract Sn into an organic phase using trioctylphosphine oxide (TOPO) in methylisobutylketone (MIBK), then aspirate the organic extract into FAAS and measure absorbance at 286.3 nm.
- Reagents & materials: Analytical-grade HCl, H2O2 (tin-free stabilizers), ethanol, MIBK, TOPO solutions and calibrated tin standard solutions are specified.
- Apparatus: FAAS fitted with N2O/acetylene burner and tin hollow-cathode lamp; standard laboratory glassware and separatory funnels for liquid–liquid extraction.
- Procedure controls: Blank tests, check tests with certified or synthetic standards, calibration curve preparation (series of extracted calibration solutions), optional bracketing technique and instructions for dilution when absorbance is high.
- Quality & expression of results: The standard gives calculation methods to convert measured concentration to tin mass fraction and provides precision data (repeatability and reproducibility) from inter-laboratory validation consistent with ISO 5725 principles.
Applications
- Routine chemical analysis laboratories testing tin in bronzes, brasses and other copper alloys where tin is at trace or low levels.
- Quality control for foundries, metal producers and suppliers verifying alloy composition for specifications, metallurgy investigations and conformity assessment.
- Regulatory or procurement testing where accurate determination of low tin mass fractions is required.
Who should use this standard
- Analytical chemists and laboratory managers performing alloy composition analysis.
- Metallurgical quality control personnel in copper alloy production and fabrication.
- Standards bodies, conformity assessors and testing laboratories that require a validated FAAS procedure for low-level tin determination.
