An International Standard for the Analysis of Iron and Steel.— Sixth Report of the Committee, consisting of Professor W. C. ROBERTS-AUSTEN (Chairman), Sir F. ABEL, Mr. E. RILEY, Mr. J. SPILLER, Professor J. W. LANGLEY, Mr. G. J. SNELUS, Professor TILDEN, and Mr. THOMAS TURNER (Secretary). (Drawn up by the Secretary.) In the previous report of this Committee it was stated that the work of the British analysts was completed, so far as the four original standards were concerned, and that the results of the analyses conducted by the other Committees were in good agreement with those published by this Committee. The remaining standard, No. 5, has now been analysed by Messrs. G. S. Packer, J. Pattinson, E. Riley, and J. E. Stead, and the results of their investigations are as follows: Generally speaking, the agreement in these results is very good. The carbon determination by Mr. Packer is somewhat high, and this is explained by the fact that Mr. Packer's determinations were made in the laboratory of Messrs. J. Brown and Co., Sheffield; and as the operations were conducted in the centre of a large works, with dust inevitably in constant circulation, it was not found possible, even by carefully covering the vessels in which the analyses were performed, to obtain strictly concordant results with the combustion of samples so low in carbon content. For this reason, at Mr. Packer's suggestion, his numbers are not reckoned in calculating the mean carbon percentage. The quantity of material operated upon in estimating such small amounts of carbon is necessarily large, and during filtration and other processes in a dusty atmosphere sufficient carbon is added to seriously affect the results. The manganese determinations vary from a minimum of 0.258 to a maximum of 0-317, and the figures have been carefully checked by the analysts. This difference raises an important question as to the relative accuracy of the methods employed, though such inquiries are outside the present work of the Committee. Several applications have been received during the past year for samples of the standards from chemists engaged in investigations as to the relative accuracy of various methods of analysis, and it is hoped, now the standards have been prepared and their composition determined with very considerable accuracy, that they may be frequently employed for such purposes of reference. As the work of the Committee is now completed it is proposed to shortly deposit the standards with the Board of Trade, as originally suggested, or with some other suitable authority, where they will be at the public service. The Committee do not ask for reappointment. |
