Historical Standard: ASTM C1429-99(2004) Standard Test Method for Isotopic Analysis of Uranium Hexafluoride by Double-Standard Multi-Collector Gas Mass Spectrometer
SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM C1429
1. Scope
1.1 This is a quantitative test method applicable to determine the mass percent of uranium isotopes in uranium hexafluoride (UF 6 ) samples. This method as described is for concentrations of 235 U between 0.1 and 10 mass percent, and 234 U and 236 U between 0.0001 to 0.1 mass percent.
1.2 This test method is for laboratory analysis by a gas mass spectrometer with a multi-collector.
1.3 This standard complements C 761, sections 35 through 40, the double-standard method for gas mass spectrometers using a single collector, by providing a method for spectrometers using a multi-collector.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
