Full Description

1.1 This test method covers the determination of lead in nickel and nickel alloys in the concentration range of 0.00005 % to 0.001 % by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry.

Note 1 - If this test method is used to test materials having contents less than 0.0001 % lead, users in different laboratories will experience more than the usual 5 % risk that their results will differ by more than 50 % relative error.
