SPECTROSCOPIC STANDARD REFERENCE MATERIALS - Copper Base Alloys

These samples are intended for the calibration of optical emission and XRF instruments with respect to the alloying and trace elements below. Although they have been carefully analysed by both BAS Ltd.
and an independent laboratory, they have been classified as RMs and not CRMs in order to distinguish them from BAS CRMs which are normally analysed by at least five laboratories.
Note that most CURM samples are available in the finely divided (chip) form as well as in disc form
