Overview

SIST-TS CEN/TS 15022-2:2010 is a technical specification developed by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) for the determination of tin content in copper and copper alloys using a spectrophotometric method. This part of the specification is applicable to unwrought, wrought, and cast products of copper and copper alloys containing tin in mass fractions between 0.005% and 0.5%.

This method is essential for the quality assurance of copper-based materials, supporting industries such as metallurgy, manufacturing, and materials testing. The spectrophotometric technique offers accurate and reliable analysis, meeting the rigorous demands of both producers and end-users.

Key Topics

  • Scope of Application: The standard is intended for copper and copper alloy products (such as raw materials, semi-finished items, and finished castings) with tin content from 0.005% to 0.5%.
  • Spectrophotometric Method:
    • Utilizes the extraction of the yellow tin-quercetin complex for measurement at a wavelength of 440 nm.
    • Requires high-purity reagents and precise sampling in accordance with ISO 1811-1 (unwrought products) or ISO 1811-2 (wrought/cast products).
  • Testing Procedure:
    • Involves careful weighing of the test portion based on expected tin mass fraction.
    • Samples are dissolved and treated with specific reagents before measurement.
    • Calibration curves are established with standard tin solutions for accurate quantification.
  • Results Reporting:
    • Offers detailed procedures for blank tests, check tests, calibration, and calculation of tin content.
    • Specifies requirements for reporting, including traceability, test conditions, and any deviations.

Applications

The spectrophotometric determination of tin in copper and copper alloys provides significant practical benefits:

  • Industrial Quality Control: Ensures that tin content in copper alloys adheres to product specifications for electrical, plumbing, construction, and decorative applications.
  • Laboratory Analysis: Enables analytical laboratories to deliver precise and reproducible tin content measurements, supporting results in R&D, certification, and compliance testing.
  • Metallurgical Assessment: Supports the materials engineering process by monitoring tin content, which can affect the mechanical and conductive properties of alloys.
  • Regulatory Compliance: Assists manufacturers and suppliers in meeting European and international specifications for copper materials, facilitating trade within regulated markets.

Related Standards

For a comprehensive approach to analysis in the copper and copper alloys sector, several related standards complement SIST-TS CEN/TS 15022-2:2010:
