In this paper, a method for simultaneous determination of Si, Mn, P, Cr, Ni, Mo, Nb, V, Ti, Cu and Al in high grade pipeline steel by inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) has been proposed. The experiment factors such as the preparation of the sample solution, the selection of the analytical lines for every element and the instrument parameters have been investigated. The method has been approved as a convenient and rapid method with good precision and accuracy.
