Overview
SIST-TS CEN/TS 15022-2:2010 is a European Technical Specification published by CEN that defines the spectrophotometric method for determining the tin content in copper and copper alloys. This standard is specifically designed for unwrought, wrought, and cast copper products containing tin within the mass fraction range of 0.005% to 0.5%.
The method offers a precise and reproducible analytical procedure tailored for quality control and material verification in manufacturing and metallurgical laboratories.
Key Topics
Scope & Application
This specification applies to copper-based materials where tin presence needs accurate quantification. It covers products in various physical forms including unwrought, wrought, and cast alloys.Analytical Principle
The tin content is determined by forming a yellow tin-quercetin complex, which is extracted into methyl isobutyl ketone and measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 440 nm.Reagents and Apparatus
The method requires standard analytical grade reagents such as hydrochloric acid, ammonia, hydrogen peroxide, thiourea, ascorbic acid, quercetin ethanol solution, and specifically prepared tin standard solutions. A spectrophotometer with 20 mm cells is essential for the absorbance measurement.Sampling
Sampling follows ISO 1811 part 1 or 2, depending on the product type, ensuring representative test portions usually prepared as fine drillings or chips.Calibration and Measurement
A calibration curve is established with known tin concentrations prepared in a copper base matrix to ensure accuracy. Test samples are processed by digestion, neutralization, extraction, and then analyzed for absorbance to quantify tin concentration.Precision & Reporting
The method’s precision is demonstrated by repeatability tests, with repeatability deviations specified for different tin content levels. Test reports must include comprehensive information such as sample identification, test results, method reference, and any deviations or unusual findings.
Applications
Quality Control in Copper Alloy Production
Ensures that tin content in alloys is within required specifications to meet mechanical and chemical property standards.Metallurgical Analysis
Provides reliable tin determination for research and development in copper alloy materials, especially for manufacturing sectors relying on high-purity bronze, brass, and other tin-containing copper alloys.Regulatory Compliance
Supports adherence to European standards for copper alloy composition analysis, facilitating conformity with national and international regulations.Material Verification
Assists in verifying raw materials and finished products in unwrought and wrought forms for tin content, critical to alloy classification and performance.
