PBS-30
Pulverised Iron Ore goethite-hematite, high Mn, 1kg jar
PBS-30 is a high-manganese iron ore certified reference material (CRM), sourced from the Pilbara region of Western Australia, and prepared in accordance with ISO 11459 and ISO Guide 35. This CRM is designed for quality control (QC) of XRF and TGA analysis in iron ore laboratories, ensuring accuracy and traceability for high-Mn iron ore samples.
Key Features
- Certified concentrations for major elements and trace components.
- High manganese content (12.78%), making it ideal for labs analyzing Mn rich iron ores.
- Produced via multistage crushing, milling, and homogenization to ensure uniformity (target: p95@53µm).
- Supplied in 1kg press-sealed plastic jars, with 10g sachets available upon request for blind laboratory submissions.
- Stable under normal storage conditions, with recommended drying at 105°C before use.
