Water quality — Determination of calcium and magnesium — Atomic absorption spectrometric method

Qualité de l'eau — Dosage du calcium et du magnésium — Méthode par spectrométrie d'absorption atomique

Abstract / scope

The procedure is intended for the analysis of raw and drinking waters and can be used for waters having a calcium content of up to 50 mg/l and a magnesium content of up to 5 mg/l. For samples containing higher concentrations of calcium or magnesium a smaller volume of the sample must be taken for the analysis.
