This test method covers the determination of phosphorus in organic compounds by sodium peroxide bomb ignition.

This test method is being withdrawn with no replacement due to obsolete technology and lack of interest expressed for its preservation and maintenance. The standard will be archived and retrievable from Global Engineering.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee E15 on Industrial and Specialty Chemicals and Subcommittee E15.01 on General Standards, this test method was withdrawn in December 2008.

This test method is applicable to the determination of phosphorus in organic materials containing at least 1.0 % phosphorus. It can be used as an assay procedure for known phosphorus organic compounds.

1.1 This test method covers the determination of phosphorus in organic compounds by sodium peroxide bomb ignition. It is applicable to samples of organic materials containing more than 1.0 % phosphorus.

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard.

1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific precautionary statements are given in Section 8, and Note , Note , and Note .

1.4 Review the current material safety data sheets (MSDS) for detailed information concerning toxicity, first-aid procedures; and safety precautions.
