Abstract / scope
ISO 6101-4:2014 specifies an atomic absorption spectrometric method for the determination of the manganese content of rubbers. The method is applicable to raw rubber and rubber products having manganese content above 0,5 ppm. Manganese contents below this limit can be determined, provided that suitable adjustments are made to the mass of the test portion and/or to the concentrations of the solutions used. The use of the standard additions method might lower the bottom limit of detection.
