1.1 These test methods cover procedures for the chemical analysis of copper-nickel and copper-nickel-zinc alloys having chemical compositions within the following limits:

Element Concentration Range, % Copper 40 and over Nickel A 10 to 50 Zinc B 0 to 40 Lead 0 to 15 Tin 0 to 10 Iron 0.00 to 2 Manganese 0.00 to 2 Cobalt 0.00 to 0.5 A Includes cobalt. B In the case of copper-base alloys containing 5 % and over of zinc, the zinc is usually calculated by difference.

Whenever possible the technique and procedures for analysis should be checked against a National Institute of Standards and Technology standard sample having a composition comparable to the material being analyzed.

1.2 The test methods appear in the following order:

Sections Cobalt: Alpha-Nitroso-Beta-Naphthol Method 26 to 28 Nitroso-R-Salt (Photometric) Method 29 to 37 Copper, or Copper and Lead Simultaneously, by the 2a Electrolytic Method Iron: Dichromate Method 38 to 40 Thiocyanate (Photometric) 2a Method Salicylate (Photometric) 2a Method Lead: Electrolytic Method 12 to 15 Sulfate Method 2b Manganese: Persulfate Method 2b Periodate (Photometric) 59 to 66 Method Nickel by the Dimethylglyoxime Method 2a Tin by the Iodimetric Titration Method 2b Zinc by the Oxide or Ferrocyanide Method 2a
