Accordingly, revision of IS : 228 was taken-up again and new series on method of chemical analysis of steels including high alloy steels was published in various parts as IS : 228 ( Parts 1 to 13 ) ( see Appendix A ) covering separate method However, IS : 228-195!)* of analysis for each constituent in steels. version has been rctainc tl for the analysis of pig iron and cast iron till a separate standard for analysis of pig iron and cast iron is phlishctl. 0.2.1 This revision of IS : 228 (Part 4)-19747 has been undcrtnkcn on the basis of experience gained during the implementation of \he standard by the manufacturers and testing laboratories. 0.3 In this revision,

6. PROCEDURE 6.1 Assemble the apparatus. Switch on the furnace, if it is a resistance furnace, and allow it to attain a temperature of 1 05O’C (see Note ), all the while passing oxygen through the apparatus so that it bubbles freely at the exit end of the train. Disconnect the absorption bulb, till it attains room temperature and take the keep in a desiccator Repeat the operation till a constant weight is initial weight. obtained. NOTB- For high chromium and high nickel rteelr, the temperature of 1 250°C in recommended for complete comburtion.

6.2 Weigh to the nearest 0’001 g, 2’0 to 3’0 g of the test sample. Transfer to the preignited combustion boat covered at the bottom Spread the sample evenly over with a thin layer of calcined alumina. the top of the alumina and cover it with 2’0 to 3’0 g of the flux. Introduce the boat slowly In the hot zone of the combustion tube. 6.3 In the case of induction heating, weigh to the nearest 0’001 g, 0’9 Add an to 1’1 g of the sample and transfer to a preignited crucible. equal quantity of the flux. Place the crucible in Position on the pedestal post of the furnace, raise to the combustion position and lock the system. Pass oxygen through the system and ignite the sample. 6.4 Maintain a rapid flow of oxygen ( 800 to 1 000 ml/min) throughout the combustion, then reduce to 400 to 500 ml per min and maintain it for another 6 co 8 min in order to sweep out the carbon dioxide. 6.5 Remove the absorption bulb and weigh it after keeping it in The increase in weight of desiccator till it attains room temperature. the bulb represents the carbon dioxide. 6.6 Remove the boat or crucible and examine combustion. If the sample is not thoroughly determination with a fresh sample.
