Scope
1.1 This method provides for the non-destructive analysis of
treated wood and treating solutions by X-ray fluorescence
spectroscopy.
1.2 The method is applicable to the determination of elements
of atomic number 5 or higher that are present in significant
quantity in the wood (usually above 0.05%).
1.3 The specific elements covered in this method, and now
specified for use in preservative and fire-retardant treatment of
wood. These elements, along with their atomic numbers, are
P(15), S(16), Cl(17), Cr(24), Cu(29), Zn(30), As(33) and I(53).
1.4 Energy dispersive and wavelength dispersive spectrometers
can both be used. The configuration and instructions for
operating each type of spectrometer are provided by the
manufacturer and are not described here. Some of the lighter
elements may require special detectors or other accessories to
render an instrument capable of an adequate analysis. General
information concerning sample preparation and calculation of
preservative retention are described.
