1.1These test methods cover the chemical analysis of cadmium having chemical compositions with the following limits:
Element Composition, max, % Antimony 0.001 Arsenic 0.003 Copper 0.015 Lead 0.025 Silver 0.010 Thallium 0.003 Tin 0.010 Zinc 0.035
1.2The test methods appear in the following order:
Sections Antimony by the Rhodamine B Spectrophotometric Method
[0.0002 % to 0.0010 %] 62 – 72 Arsenic by the Molybdenum Blue Spectrophotometric Method
[0.001 % to 0.005 %] 40 – 50 Copper by the Neocuproine Spectrophotometric Method [0.002 % to 0.030 %] 10 – 19 Copper, Lead, Silver, and Zinc by the Atomic Absorption Spectrometry Method [0.004 % to 0.02 % Cu, 0.01 % to 0.05 % Pb, 0.004 % to 0.02 % Ag,
and 0.01 % to 0.05 % Zn] 51 – 61 Lead by the Dithizone Spectrophotometric Method [0.001 % to 0.05 %] 20 – 29 Thallium by the Rhodamine B Spectrophotometric Method
[0.0003 % to 0.005 %] 30 – 39 Tin by the 8-Quinolinol Spectrophotometric Method [0.0025 % to 0.0150 %] 73 – 82
