Full title and description

ISO 10058-2:2008 — Chemical analysis of magnesite and dolomite refractory products (alternative to the X‑ray fluorescence method) — Part 2: Wet chemical analysis. The document specifies traditional (wet chemical) laboratory methods for determining the chemical composition of magnesite and dolomite refractory products and related raw materials.

Abstract

ISO 10058-2:2008 provides standardized "wet process" (classical chemical) analytical procedures as an alternative to X‑ray fluorescence (XRF) for routine and quality‑control analysis of magnesite and dolomite refractories and their feedstocks. It defines sample preparation, reagents, titrations and calculation methods needed to quantify the main oxide and carbonate constituents.

Scope

This part of ISO 10058 specifies wet chemical analytical methods for determining the chemical composition of magnesite and dolomite refractory products and the raw materials used in their manufacture. The procedures are intended as an alternative to XRF techniques for laboratories performing routine compositional analysis and quality control. The standard addresses sample preparation, reagents, analytical titrations, calculation of results and reporting.

Key topics and requirements

• Definitions and sampling requirements for magnesite and dolomite refractory materials.
• Wet chemical (classical) analytical procedures: acid digestion, carbonate determination, titrimetric and gravimetric analyses for primary oxides/carbonates.
• Required reagents, apparatus, precision/accuracy considerations and calculation formulas for reporting results.
• Quality control notes and references to alternative XRF approaches (standard positions this part as an alternative method).
• Clear reporting format for composition expressed as oxides/carbonates and recommended units.

Typical use and users

Laboratories in refractory manufacturing, incoming raw‑material inspection, quality control departments, materials testing laboratories, and research & development groups use this standard. It is used where wet chemistry methods are preferred or required (e.g., absence of XRF equipment, cross‑checking XRF results, or regulatory/contractual obligations). Technicians and chemists performing routine compositional assays or verifying supplier certificates are the primary users.

Related standards

ISO 10058-2:2008 is a part of the ISO 10058 family (earlier ISO 10058:1992 was withdrawn). National and regional adoptions exist (for example BS EN ISO 10058-2:2008 / UNE‑EN ISO 10058-2:2008), which may include editorial or pagination differences when published by national bodies. When implementing, users often reference companion analytical standards and methods for refractories and reference materials maintained by ISO/TC 33 and national standards bodies.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 10058-2:2008 is an international standard specifying wet chemical methods for the chemical analysis of magnesite and dolomite refractory products as an alternative to X‑ray fluorescence methods.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers sample preparation, reagents, classical analytical (wet chemistry) procedures—including titrimetric and gravimetric methods—calculations and reporting for the major constituents of magnesite and dolomite refractories.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Materials laboratories, refractory manufacturers, incoming goods inspection teams, QC chemists and researchers who need standardized wet chemical procedures for compositional analysis.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 2008 edition is published and has been subject to periodic systematic review; ISO records indicate it was reviewed and confirmed (remains current as of the latest ISO review cycle). Users should check with their national standards body for any later amendments or confirmations.
