Members of IEC and ISO maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

WARNING The sample shall on no account be dried before testing, and any portion of the sample not used shall not be returned to the sample container after having been manipulated. 6 Determination of residue on sieve 6.1 Principle A suitable test portion of the sample is passed through an air-jet sieve apparatus having sieves with nominal mesh apertures of 45?m, 90?m and 125?m. The residue on each of these sieves is determined. 6.2 Apparatus 6.2.1 Sieves, circular, with a sieving area of diameter 200 mm and with nominal mesh apertures of 45?m, 90?m and 125?m, complying with ISO 565. A transparent lid shall be provided to cover the sieve during use. 6.2.2 Air-jet sieve apparatus (see Figure 1), consisting of a cylindrical casing which contains a sieve (see 6.2.1). The base of the casing has an outlet (to which an extractor fan is connected) and an air inlet to permit the injection of air. The air inlet is connected to a jet rotating at 20 r/min to 25 r/min and consists of a slot-shaped nozzle located beneath and very close to the sieve (see Figure 1). When the jet rotates, it blows air continuously through the sieve, preventing the powder particles from settling. The air is extracted through the outlet, drawing the finer particles through the sieve. The flow of air is controlled by adjusting a slot at the outlet. The vacuum obtained shall be 1 250 Pa or better. 6.2.3 Timer (for example a stopwatch), recording to the nearest 1 s or better. It may be equipped with a switch for stopping the motor of the sieve apparatus (6.2.2). 6.2.4 Analytical balance, capable of weighing at least 50 g to the nearest 1 mg. 6.2.5 Mallet, of light construction, with a plastic head, suitable for tapping the apparatus to dislodge powder adhering to the lid and sieve. 6.2.6 Clean brush 6.2.7 Stainless-steel boat 6.3 Checking and cleaning the sieve Check that the sieve is clean and undamaged and is not blocked by material used in a previous determination. A magnifying glass of sufficient magnification is recommended to aid this inspection. If cleaning of the sieve is necessary, an ultrasonic system is recommended for this purpose. It is also possible to clean the sieve by turning it upside down on a clean sheet of paper and tapping vigorously to eliminate any residual particles.

Recover the sieve residue by turning the sieve upside down on a clean sheet of paper and tapping vigorously to ensure that all particles are recovered. 6.4.5 Weigh the stainless-steel boat (6.2.7) to the nearest 1 mg (m1). Transfer the sieve residue to it and reweigh to the nearest 1 mg (m2). 6.4.6 Repeat the operations described in 6.4.1, 6.4.2, 6.4.3, 6.4.4 and 6.4.5 with the 90?m sieve and then with the 125?m sieve on fresh 50 g portions of the sample.

Calculate the mean of two valid results (replicates) and report the result to three decimal places for the 125?m sieve, two decimal places for the 90?m sieve and one decimal place for the 45?m sieve. 7 Determination of total zinc content 7.1 Principle The zinc is titrated against EDTA solution. 7.2 Reagents During the analysis, use only reagents of recognized analytical grade and only water of at least grade 3 purity as defined in ISO 3696. 7.2.1 Hydrochloric acid, concentrated, approximately 38 % (m/m), ? ?1,19 g/ml. 7.2.2 Hydrochloric acid, diluted 1 + 4.
