Historical Standard: ASTM E2403-06 Standard Test Method for Sulfated Ash of Organic Materials by Thermogravimetry
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM E2403
1. Scope
1.1 This standard describes the determination of sulfated ash content (sometimes called residue-on-ignition) of organic materials by thermogravimetry. The method converts common metals found in organic materials (such as sodium, potassium, lithium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, and tin0 into their sulfate salts permitting estimation of their total content as sulfates or oxides. The range of the test method is from 0.1 to 100 % metal content.
1.2 SI values are the standards.
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 to determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
