The design and installation of a cold trap system is described specifically with reference to its use in ameliorating analysis for low atomic number elements. This trap has been mounted aon an A.R.L. EMX instrument and its use in the analysis of carbon has been investigated. This paper also discusses the metallurgical and metallographic preparation of standards for carbon analysis along with matrix correction procedures for quantitative analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
