11、ing of ingot tin. BS3338-12, Sampling of solders. BS3338-14, Sampling of white metal bearing alloys 1) . This method for the determination of bismuth in ingot tin, tin-lead solders and white metal bearing alloys is the eighth of a series of methods which will form a complete BritishStandard under th
12、e collective title “Methods for the sampling and analysis of tin and tin alloys”, each method being published as a separate part. The preparation of this series of methods has been authorized by the Non-ferrous Metals Industry Standards Committee as part of a general programme for the standardizatio
13、n of methods for the sampling and analysis of non-ferrous metals. Other methods in the series are as follows: Part 1: Sampling of ingot tin; Part 2: Determination of tin in ingot tin; Part 3: Determination of antimony in ingot tin; Part 4: Determination of copper in ingot tin and tin-lead solders; P
14、art 5: Determination of lead in ingot tin and tin-antimony solders; Part 6: Determination of copper in high purity ingot tin; Part 7: Determination of silver in solders; Part 9: Determination of arsenic in ingot tin, tin-lead solders and white metal bearing alloys; Part 10: Determination of iron in
15、ingot tin, tin-lead solders and white metal bearing alloys; Part 11: Determination of tin in solders; Part 12: Sampling of solders. The complete BritishStandard Methods will be found suitable for the grades of metals covered by BS3252, “Ingot tin”, BS219, “Soft solders” and BS3332, “White metal bear
16、ing alloy ingots”. In the methods for determining impurities, sample weights and aliquots have been chosen to cover the range of impurity content usually found in commercial tin ingots, solders and white metal bearing alloy ingots. For amounts of impurity outside this range, sample weights or aliquo
17、ts should be adjusted accordingly. The methods have been found to give reliable and reproducible results, and while in some instances they may appear to be lengthy, it should be realized that they are put forward as “referee” methods to be used in cases of dispute. In the preparation of the calibrat
18、ion graphs an attempt has been made to define concentrations, but because these are linked with the particular instrument used for determining optical density they should be used only as a guide. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of Brit
19、ish Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

Bismuth is determined photometrically with thiourea after removal of tin and a
21、ntimony as bromides in the presence of perchloric acid. b) Range. Up to0.07percent bismuth (Note1). c) Reproducibility. 10percent of bismuth present. Apparatus a) Any volumetric glassware used shall be of ClassA accuracy as defined in the appropriate BritishStandards, or where no BritishStandard exi
22、sts, as described in the National Physical Laboratory Publication “Volumetric Tests on Volumetric Glassware”. b) Any instrument suitable for measuring the optical density of the solution at a wavelength of465m may be used. c) 1cm or4cm cells (Note2). d) Alternatively, if a filter photometer of the b
23、alanced two cell type is used, the filter combination should conform as closely as possible to the above wave-length. The following have been found suitable: Tungsten lamp Ilford602 or equivalent filters. Solutions required All reagents shall be of the highest purity obtainable and distilled water s
24、hall be used throughout. Solutions shall be freshly prepared and, where necessary filtered. Standard bismuthA (1ml N 1.0mg of bismuth). Dissolve0.250g of bismuth in10ml nitric acid (sp.gr.1.42) and dilute to250ml in a graduated flask. Standard bismuthB (1ml N 0.1mg of bismuth). Dilute25ml of the abo
25、ve solution to250ml in a graduated flask. Bromine-hydrobromic acid. Add10ml of bromine to90ml of hydrobromic acid(48percentv/v). Thiourea (8percentw/v). Dissolve8g of thiourea in100ml of water. Sampling Recommended methods of obtaining a suitable sample for the analytical procedure given below arede
26、scribed in BS3338, Part 1, “Sampling of ingot tin”; Part12, “Sampling of solders”; and Part14,“Sampling of white metal bearing alloys”. Procedure Dissolve2.00g of sample in20ml of bromine-hydrobromic acid in a150ml beaker and add5ml of perchloric acid (sp.gr.1.54). Evaporate to fuming, and if the so
27、lution is cloudy add a further quantity of hydrobromic acid. Repeat until the solution is clear, indicating complete removal of tin and antimony (Note3). Cool, dilute and transfer to a50ml graduated flask, add from a pipette25ml of thiourea solution(8percent) and dilute to the mark. Measure the opti
28、cal density of the solution at20 1 C using the conditions specified under “Apparatus” and using water in the reference cell. Carry out simultaneously a blank determination on the reagents. Follow the same procedure without the sample and use the same quantity of reagents. Deduct the blank reading an
29、d calculate the percentage bismuth in the sample by reference to the appropriate calibration graph. Calibration Transfer to150-ml beakers the following amounts of standard bismuth solution(1ml N 0.1mg Bi.): for the4cm cell0.5,1.0,2.0,3.0ml for the1cm cell5.0,8.0,10.0,14.0ml. Add5ml of perchloric aci
30、d (sp.gr.1.54) and heat to fuming. Cool, dilute, transfer to50ml graduated flasks and continue as in the procedure. Carry out simultaneously a blank, using the same quantities of reagents. Prepare calibration graphs by plotting optical density against weight of bismuth in the various aliquots, after
31、 deduction of the blank reading. NOTE 1Bismuth content up to0.12percent may be determined if a sample weight of1g is taken. NOTE 2A4cm cell should be used for bismuth contents in the range0.0010.015percent, and a1cm cell for bismuth contents up to0.07percent. NOTE 3In the presence of more than10perc
32、ent of lead the bulk of the lead is removed as follows: Cool, dilute with20ml of water, add5ml of hydrochloric acid(50percentv/v) and cool in ice-water. Filter the lead chloride on a sintered glass filter (Porosity4) and wash with a little cold hydrochloric acid(10percentv/v). Evaporate the filtrate
33、 to fumes of perchloric acid, cool, dilute and transfer to a50ml graduated flask. Continue as in the procedure.BS3338-8: 1961 BSI 389 Chiswick High Road London W4 4AL BSIBritishStandardsInstitution BSI is the independent national body responsible for preparing BritishStandards.
