BS 6200-2.2:1993

This standard BS 6200-2.2:1993 Sampling and analysis of iron, steel and other ferrous metals. Sampling and sample preparation is classified in these ICS categories:

• 77.100 Ferroalloys

This Section of BS 6200 describes methods for the incremental sampling and sample preparation of ferroalloys used in the manufacture of iron and steel. It does not include methods of sampling from a liquid metal. Methods are described for use with ferroboron, ferrochromium, ferromanganese, ferrosilicon, ferrosilicochromium, ferrosilicomanganese, ferroniobium, ferromolybdenum, ferrotitanium, ferrotungsten, ferrovanadium, and molybdenum oxide. For the purposes of this Section of BS 6200, ferroalloys are divided into two groups:

1. ferroalloys supplied mainly in bulk quantities, that is, ferrochromium, ferromanganese, ferrosilicon, ferrosilicochromium and ferrosilicomanganese;
2. ferroalloys supplied in packed units, that is, ferroboron, ferromolybdenum, ferroniobium, ferrotitanium, ferrotungsten and ferrovanadium.

As a supplement to the list of contents, the methods for a particular ferroalloy are listed in Table 1 with reference to the relevant subsection in this Section of BS 6200.
