PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Standards Australia Committee on the Analysis of Metals, under
the direction of the Chemical Standards Board, as a proposed further part of AS 1050. On
publication, it will supersede AS K1, Methods for analysis of iron and steel, Part 23—1967:
Determination of molybdenum in iron and steel (photometric method).
The committee organized an inter-laboratory test program to obtain information on the repeatability
and reproducibility of the method. Laboratories from the following organizations participated in the
test program to provide the data given in Table 2:
BHP Steel, Sheet and Coil Products Division
BHP Steel, Rod and Bar Products Division
BHP Steel, Slab and Plate Products Division
