4、n of iron oxide as Fe2O3is involved,are not intended topreclude the use of other procedures that give results within the permis-sible variations.For the sake of uniformity the classical Zimmerman-Reinhardt procedure is specified for the determination of iron oxide.It isrecognized that numerous other
5、 procedures are equally accurate and oftenmore convenient.The other procedures commonly in use include reduc-tion of an oxidized solution with zinc or other metal,and titration withstandard potassium permanganate(KMnO4)or potassium dichromate(K2Cr2O7)solution,as well as titration with a standard sol
6、ution of titanouschloride in an oxidized solution.These procedures shall be consideredacceptable,provided the analyst has obtained results by his specialprocedure that check with the Zimmerman-Reinhardt procedure within thelimits specified in Section 17.It is suggested that National Institute ofStan
7、dards and Technology standard samples be used for checking theaccuracy of procedures.It will be understood that the making of a complete analysis of aceramic whiteware clay is a difficult procedure requiring a wide knowl-edge of the chemistry involved in the operations and a thorough trainingin carr
