7.3.3 Test Procedure

7.3.3.1 Sample Weigh the sample according to Table 18 (Chapter 5), accurate to 0.0001g, and record it as m5.

7.3.3.2 Parallel Tests Perform the experiment twice in parallel and take the average value.

7.3.3.3 Blank Test A blank test was performed along with the sample.

7.3.3.4 Measurement 7.3.3.4.1 Place the sample in a 600mL beaker, cover with a watch glass, and add water and hydrochloric acid in portions according to Table 17 (7.3.2.1). If the sample contains lead... When reacting with bismuth and bismuth, add 1 mL of hydrogen peroxide (7.3.2.2) and let stand for 10 min. After the reaction stops, slowly heat until the sample is completely dissolved. Dissolve, boil for 5 minutes, filter with medium-speed filter paper, wash with hot water, collect the filtrate and washings in a 500 mL volumetric flask (V8), cool, and use... Dilute with water to the mark and mix well. 7.3.3.4.2 When the magnesium alloy does not contain silver, the solution is filtered with medium-speed filter paper, washed with hot water, and the filtrate and washing liquid are collected in a 500 mL volumetric sieve. In a bottle (V8), cool, dilute to the mark with water, and mix well. When the magnesium alloy contains silver, add 50 mL of water and boil for 5 minutes to allow the silver chloride to solidify. After cooling to room temperature, the test solution was filtered through slow-speed filter paper containing filter paper pulp, washed with cold water, and the filtrate and washings were collected in a 500 mL volumetric jar. Place in a bottle (V8), cool, dilute with water to the mark, and mix well.

Note. The residue can be used for the determination of insoluble zirconium (see 7.2).

7.3.4 Experimental Data Processing Calculation results should be retained to three significant figures. Numerical rounding should be performed in accordance with GB/T 8170.

7.3.5 Precision

7.3.5.1 Repeatability The measured values of two independent test results obtained under repeatability conditions, within the range of the average values given in Table 19, represent the two test results. The absolute difference does not exceed the repeatability limit (r), and the number of cases exceeding the repeatability limit (r) does not exceed 5%. The repeatability limit (r) is defined using linear data according to Table 19. It can be obtained by interpolation or extension.

7.3.5.2 Reproducibility The measured values of two independent test results obtained under reproducibility conditions, within the range of average values given in Table 20, represent the two test results. The absolute difference does not exceed the reproducibility limit (R), and the number of cases exceeding the reproducibility limit (R) does not exceed 5%. The reproducibility limit (R) is determined according to the data in Table 20. Obtained by linear interpolation or extrapolation.
