1.1 This practice covers flux fusion sample decomposition and dissolution for the determination of SiO2 as well as many other oxides in glasses, ceramics, and raw materials. The solutions are analyzed by atomic spectroscopy methods. Analyte concentrations ranging from trace to major levels can be measured in these solutions, depending on the sample weights and dilution volumes used during preparation.
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all 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.
