ASTM D5708 Standard Test Methods for Determination of Nickel, Vanadium, and Iron in Crude Oils and Residual Fuels by Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Atomic Emission Spectrometry -- eLearning Course
About the Course
These test methods cover the determination of nickel, vanadium, and iron in crude oils and residual fuels by inductively coupled plasma (ICP) atomic emission spectrometry. Two different test methods are presented.
1.2 Test Method A (Sections 7 - 11 and 18 - 22) -- ICP is used to analyze a sample dissolved in an organic solvent. This test method uses oil-soluble metals for calibration and does not purport to quantitatively determine or detect insoluble particulates.
1.3 Test Method B (Sections 12 - 22) -- ICP is used to analyze a sample that is decomposed with acid.
The course takes approximately 1 hour to complete and includes instructional video content, interactive knowledge checks, and a self-grading quiz. Downloadable resources include a pdf of the standard.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, you will be able to:
- Identify apparatus and reagents used for Test Methods A and B respectively.
- Recognize steps for preparation of standards and specimens for Test Methods A and B respectively as well as those for quality control samples as outlined for Test Method B.
- Recall procedure for preparation of apparatus used for both test methods.
- Recall calibration and analysis procedures used for both test methods.
Audience
