Place the filter paper and its contents into a crucible that has been previously ignited and tared. Dry it, then incinerate slowly in an oxidizing atmosphere in order to avoid immediate flaming, while ensuring complete combustion. Ignite the crucible and its contents at the stated temperature, then allow it to cool to the room temperature in a desiccator (6.2.6). Weigh the crucible and its contents.

4 General requirements for testing
4.1 Number of tests and requirements
The number of tests for determination of each chemical property shall be two. The absolute difference between the two results shall be within the repeatability limit (Tables 3, 4 and 5). The mean of the two test results shall be used to express the test result.
During routine production control analysis, determination of each chemical property by a single test shall be the minimum required.
It is recommended to determine the loss on ignition while chemical analysis is carried out.
Except for determination of loss on ignition, blank test shall be carried out in parallel, and the determination results shall be corrected.
4.2 Expression of masses, volumes, titers and results
Express masses in “grams (g)” to the nearest of 0.000 1 g and volumes from burettes in “milliliters (mL)” to the nearest of 0.01 mL. Express the titers of solutions in “milligrams per milliliter (mg/mL)”.
Express the titer of benzoic acid-anhydrous ethanol standard volumetric solution for calcium oxide with three significant figures, while the concentration, titer and volume ratio of other standard volumetric solutions with four significant figures.
Unless otherwise stated, all analysis results shall be based on mass fraction. The analysis result of chloride ion shall be expressed in % to three decimal places, and the analysis result of other items shall be expressed in % to two decimal places.
The rounding off of numerical value shall comply with the requirements of GB/T 8170.
4.3 Repeatability limit and reproducibility limit
The repeatability limit and reproducibility limit in this standard are expressed in mass fraction (%) as absolute deviation(s).
When the same specimen is analyzed by the methods given in this standard under the repeatability conditions (3.1), the difference between the two analysis results shall be within the repeatability limits listed (Tables 3, 4 and 5). If the repeatability limit is exceeded, a third determination shall be carried out in a short time. If the difference between the determination result and both or either of the previous ones meets the repeatability limit, the mean shall be taken. Otherwise, the reason shall be found and analysis shall be carried out again according to the above requirements.
When the same specimen is analyzed by the methods given in this standard under the reproducibility conditions (3.2), the difference between the two analysis results shall be within the reproducibility limits listed (Tables 3, 4 and 5).
4.4 Blank determinations
Carry out a blank determination without a specimen, following the same procedure and using the same amounts of reagents. Correct the results obtained for the analytical determination accordingly.
4.5 Ignition
Place the filter paper and its contents into a crucible that has been previously ignited and tared. Dry it, then incinerate slowly in an oxidizing atmosphere in order to avoid immediate flaming, while ensuring complete combustion. Ignite the crucible and its contents at the stated temperature, then allow it to cool to the room temperature in a desiccator (6.2.6). Weigh the crucible and its contents.
4.6 Constant mass
After the first ignition, cooling and weighing, determine constant mass by making successive 15 min ignitions followed each time by cooling and then weighing. Constant mass is reached when the difference between two successive weighing is less than 0.000 5 g.
