Photography - Photographic-grade chemicals - Test methods - Part 3: Determination of matter insoluble in ammonium hydroxide solution

The method is based on weighing a test portion, dissolution in water, addition of ammonium oxalate solution, diammonium hydrogen phosphate solution and ammonium hydroxide solution, allowing to stand for at least 8 h, filtering out the precipitate through filter paper, transfer of the filter paper with precipitate to a prepared crucible, burning it over a gas burner, incineration of the residue in a furnace, cooling in a desiccator, and reweighing.

Overview

ISO 10349-3:1992 - Photography - Photographic-grade chemicals - Test methods - Part 3: Determination of matter insoluble in ammonium hydroxide solution describes a laboratory test to quantify the fraction of a photographic-grade chemical that is insoluble in ammonium hydroxide. The method isolates precipitated calcium, magnesium and ammonium hydroxides, then determines their mass after ignition. This standard supports quality control and chemical analysis in photographic materials and related industries.

Key topics and requirements

  • Scope: General test method to determine matter insoluble in ammonium hydroxide solution for photographic-grade chemicals.
  • Test portion and dissolution: Weigh a test portion of 10.0 g ± 0.1 g and dissolve in 75 ml of water.
  • Reagents (specified concentrations):
    • Ammonium oxalate solution: dissolve 40 g ammonium oxalate monohydrate in 500 ml water and dilute to 1 L.
    • Diammonium hydrogen phosphate solution: dissolve 10 g in 50 ml water and dilute to 100 ml.
    • Ammonium hydroxide solution (1+9): 10 ml NH4OH (ρ = 0.91 g/ml) diluted to 100 ml.
    • Dilute ammonium hydroxide (1+39): 25 ml NH4OH diluted to 1 L.
  • Procedure summary:
    • Add 5 ml ammonium oxalate, 4 ml diammonium hydrogen phosphate, and 10 ml ammonium hydroxide to the dissolved sample.
    • Allow to stand at least 8 hours to form precipitate.
    • Filter on ashless filter paper, wash with dilute ammonium hydroxide.
    • Transfer filter with precipitate to a prepared ignition crucible; burn off paper and incinerate residue in a muffle furnace (600 °C ± 50 °C) to constant weight.
    • Cool in a desiccator and reweigh.
  • Calculation: Express insoluble matter as percentage by mass using the mass of test portion, crucible, and crucible+residue.
  • Apparatus & safety: Requires ignition crucible (porcelain/alumina/platinum/quartz), muffle furnace to 600 °C, ashless filter paper (10–15 µm retention), and desiccator. Follow hazard guidance referenced in ISO 10349-1.

Applications and users

  • Quality control laboratories in photographic chemical manufacturing.
  • Analytical chemistry labs performing chemical composition and purity testing.
  • Conservation and archival labs concerned with chemical contaminants in photographic materials.
  • Suppliers and purchasers of photographic-grade chemicals for specification compliance.
  • Regulatory or standards bodies assessing conformity of photographic reagents.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide
federation of national Standards bodies (ISO member bodies). The work
of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Esch member body interested in a subject for
which a technical committee has been established has the right to be
represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission
(IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are
circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International
Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting
a vote.
International Standard ISO 10349-3 was prepared by Technical Committee
ISOfTC 42, Photography.
