Scope

This Standard sets out a titrimetric procedure for the determination of silver content in silver and silver bearing alloys. This method is applicable to alloys containing 0.1% to 99.9% silver. Total of gold and platinum group metals must be less than 20%. Mercury and lead should be absent. If palladium or tungsten are present they need to be complexed.
