( Third Revision )
0. FOREWORD

0.1 This Indian Standard ( Part 4 ) (Third R cvision ) was adopted I)y
the Indian Standards Institution on 16 January 1987, afirr the draft
finalized by the Methods of Chemical Analysis of Pcrrous Metals
Sectional Committre had been approved by the Structural and Mct;~ls
Division Council.

0.2 IS : 228, which was issued as a tentative standard in 1952 and


revised in 1959, covered the chemical analysis of pig iron, cast iron and
plain carbon and low alloy steels. For the convenience it was decidctl
to publish a comprehensive series on chemical analysis of steels
including high alloy steels. Accordingly, revision of IS : 228 was
taken-up again and new series on method of chemical analysis of
steels including high alloy steels was published in various parts as
IS : 228 ( Parts 1 to 13 ) ( see Appendix A ) covering separate method
of analysis for each constituent in steels. However, IS : 228-195!)*
version has been rctainc tl for the analysis of pig iron and cast iron till
a separate standard for analysis of pig iron and cast iron is phlishctl.

0.2.1 This revision of IS : 228 (Part 4)-19747 has been undcrtnkcn


on the basis of experience gained during the implementation of \he
standard by the manufacturers and testing laboratories.

0.3 In this revision, method has been updated.

*Methods of chemical analysis of pig iron, cast won and plain carb’on and low
alloy 1teela [ rruiud )*
tMethod1 for chemical analysis of steels: Part 4 Determination of carbon by
gravimetric method ( for carbon > 0.1 percent ) (rend rmi~ion ).

1. SCOPE

1.1 This standard (Part 4) covers the method for determination of


total carljon content of plain carbon, low alloy and high alloy steels
nfO.1 pcrccnt and above by the grnvimctric method.

2. OUTLINE OF THE METHOD

2.1 The sample is burnt in a stream of purified oxygen and the


carhnn dioxide formctl is al~wrlwtl, after purihation, in suitable
ahorhant and tlc~tcrminc~cl.

3. REAGENTS

3.1 Oxygen (On) - 90’5 percent minimum.

3.2 Accarite or Soda Lime -- 0’80 to 2’00 mm.

3.3 Magnesium Perchlorate - Mg (CIO( )2, 0.80 to 2’00 mm.

3.4 Boat/Crucible - Boat/crucible of precise dimension for


accommodating in the r&stance and induction furnace.

3.4.1 Preignitc the boats/crucibles in air or oxygen in a furnace for


an hour at 1 100°C and stnrc in a desiccator and check for consistancy
of the blank values.

3.5 Flux,‘Accelerator - Low carbon copper, red lead ( preignited


at 550’(Z), tin and iron of low carbon content.

4. APPARATUS

4.1 The apparatus recommended in IS : 6226 (Part l)-1971t may be


11setl

4.2 Instead 01‘ the resistance furnace, an induction furnace may also
be used.
---
*Rules for rounding ofl’ numerical valuer ( mid).
tRecommcndation for apparatus for chemical analysis of metals: Put I
Determination of carbon by direct combustion.

IS:228(Part4)-1987

5. SAMPLING
5.1 The sample shall be drawn as prescribed in the relevant Indian
Standards.

5.2 The sample is to be cleaned with analar grade ether and acetone,
dried in an air oven at 100 f 5°C.

6. PROCEDURE
6.1 Assemble the apparatus. Switch on the furnace, if it is a resistance
furnace, and allow it to attain a temperature of 1 05O’C (see Note ), all
the while passing oxygen through the apparatus so that it bubbles
freely at the exit end of the train. Disconnect the absorption bulb, .
keep in a desiccator till it attains room temperature and take the
initial weight. Repeat the operation till a constant weight is
obtained.
NOTB- For high chromium and high nickel rteelr, the temperature of 1 250°C
in recommended for complete comburtion.

6.2 Weigh to the nearest 0’001 g, 2’0 to 3’0 g of the test sample.
Transfer to the preignited combustion boat covered at the bottom
with a thin layer of calcined alumina. Spread the sample evenly over
the top of the alumina and cover it with 2’0 to 3’0 g of the flux.
Introduce the boat slowly In the hot zone of the combustion tube.
6.3 In the case of induction heating, weigh to the nearest 0’001 g, 0’9
to 1’1 g of the sample and transfer to a preignited crucible. Add an
equal quantity of the flux. Place the crucible in Position on the
pedestal post of the furnace, raise to the combustion position and
lock the system. Pass oxygen through the system and ignite the sample.
6.4 Maintain a rapid flow of oxygen ( 800 to 1 000 ml/min) throughout
the combustion, then reduce to 400 to 500 ml per min and maintain
it for another 6 co 8 min in order to sweep out the carbon dioxide.
6.5 Remove the absorption bulb and weigh it after keeping it in
desiccator till it attains room temperature. The increase in weight of
the bulb represents the carbon dioxide.
6.6 Remove the boat or crucible and examine for any incomplete
combustion. If the sample is not thoroughly fused, repeat the
determination with a fresh sample.
6.7 Blank - Charge a prei nited boat or crucible, as the case may be,
with the same amount of Bux used in the determination and follow
the procedure as in 6.2 to 6.5.

5
IS:228(Part4)-1981

7. CALCULATION

7.1 Calculate the total carbon content of the sample as follows:

A-B
Carbon, percent = --x 27’29
c
where
A = increase in mass in g of the absorption bulb due to
carbon dioxide from the sample,

B = increase in mass in g of the absorption bulb due to


carbon dioxide from the blank determination, and

C= mass in g of the sample taken.

8. ACCURACY

8.1 The accuracy of the method is & 0’01 percent for carbon in the
range of 0’1 to 0’75 percent and f 0’02 percent for carbon
above 0’75 percent.
