1.1 These test methods are applicable to the determination of total arsenic in uranium hexafluoride (UF6) by atomic absorption spectrometry. Two test methods are given: Test Method A-Arsine Generation-Atomic Absorption (Sections ), and Test Method B-Graphite Furnace Atomic Absorption ().

1.2 The test methods are equivalent. The limit of detection for each test method is 0.1 g As/g U when using a sample containing 0.5 to 1.0 g U. Test Method B does not have the complete collection details for precision and bias data thus the method appears as an appendix.

1.3 Test Method A covers the measurement of arsenic in uranyl fluoride (UO2F2) solutions by converting arsenic to arsine and measuring the arsine vapor by flame atomic absorption spectrometry.

1.4 Test Method B utilizes a solvent extraction to remove the uranium from the UO2F2 solution prior to measurement of the arsenic by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry.

1.5 Both insoluble and soluble arsenic are measured when UF6 is prepared according to Test Method C 761.
