The chemical analysis of copper with a purity of 99.75 percent to 99.95 percent is covered in ASTM E53. It also includes electrolytic copper determination in chemical, electrolytic, and fire refined copper. Silver is deposited with copper in this process, and the result is reported as copper.
Scope:
ASTM E53 test for the chemical analysis of copper is primarily used for compliance with compositional specifications.
Procedure
In ASTM E53, the copper is electrolytically deposited and weighed on a tarred platinum cathode after the sample is dissolved in an acid combination. Atomic absorption spectroscopy is used to determine how much copper is left in the electrolyte.

Specimen size:
300 mL of H2SO4 to 750 mL of H2O and 210 mL of HNO3 are used in the test method.
Result
In ASTM E53, the weight of deposited copper is calculated as follows:
Copper =A-B
Where:
A = weight of cathode plus deposited copper and
B = weight of the cathode
Conclusion:
ASTM E53 test for the chemical analysis of copper is primarily used for compliance with compositional specifications.

The ASTM D2674 test is a standard test method for the analysis of sulfochromate etch solutions used in the surface preparation of aluminum. The ASTM D2674 standard specifies a method for determining the efficacy of an etchant used to prepare the surface of aluminum alloys for subsequent adhesive bonding.
An immunological method for quantization of Hevea Natural Rubber (HNRL) proteins using rabbit anti-HNRL serum. Rabbits immunized with HNRL proteins react to the majority of the proteins present, and their sera have the capability to detect most if not all the proteins in HNRL.
