Standard Test Method for Moisture Analysis of Plutonium Dioxide (PuO2) by Thermogravimetric Mass Spectrometry (TGA-MS)

Importancia y uso:

5.1 This test method is intended for use in quality control laboratories where a quantitative analysis of adsorbed moisture on a PuO₂ sample is desired.

5.2 The parameters described should be considered as guidelines. They may be altered to suit a particular analysis or type of analyzer, provided the changes are validated by the laboratory and noted in the report.

5.3 The quantity of an adsorbed gas on a given PuO₂ sample may indicate specific quality or end use performance characteristics. Specific limits on moisture content, for example, are required in cases where PuO₂ will be packaged and stored for extended periods of time.
