This standard BS EN 12698-2:2007 Chemical analysis of nitride bonded silicon carbide refractories is classified in these ICS categories:
81.080 Refractories
71.040.40 Chemical analysis
This standard describes methods for the determination of mineralogical phases typically apparent in nitride and oxy-nitride bonded silicon carbide refractory products using a Bragg-Brentano diffractometer. It includes details of sample preparation and general principles for qualitative and quantitative analysis of mineralogical phase composition. Quantitative determination of ?-Si3N4, ?-Si3N4, Si2ON2, AlN, and SiAlON are described. NOTE For the refinement procedures the total nitrogen content, analysed in accordance with EN 12698-1 is needed.
