Bismuth, Cadmium, Cobalt, Copper, Iron, Lead, Manganese, Silver, and Zinc by the Flame Atomic Absorption Method
Carbon, Total, by the Combustion-Instrumental Method
Nickel by the Dimethylglyoxime Gravimetric Method
Nitrogen by the Inert Gas Fusion Thermal Conductivity Method
Oxygen by the Inert Gas Fusion Method
Sulfur by the Infrared Absorption Method
Sulfur by the Methylene Blue Spectrophotometric Method After Generation of Hydrogen Sulfide

1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. For specific precautions, see Section 6.


These test methods are primarily intended to test refined nickel metal for compliance with compositional specifications. It is assumed that all who use these test methods will be trained analysts capable of performing common laboratory procedures skillfully and safely. It is expected that the analytical work will be performed in a properly equipped laboratory under appropriate quality control practices.
