_atom_analytical_mass_loss.percent

Name:
_atom_analytical_mass_loss.percent

Definition:

   
    Mass lost by the specimen during specimen preparation expressed
    as a percentage. The temperature at which the mass loss was recorded
    is given by _atom_analytical_mass_loss.temperature. A mass gain
    is represented by a negative value.

    This data name would be used to record mass loss on drying, or mass
    loss on ignition, during, for example, fusion bead preparation for
    X-ray fluorescence analysis.

Examples:

12.5 Represents a mass loss of 12.5 wt% upon exposure of the specimen to the temperature given in _atom_analytical_mass_loss.temperature.
-7.2 Represents a mass gain of 7.2 wt% upon exposure of the specimen to the temperature given in _atom_analytical_mass_loss.temperature.

Type: Real

Units: none

Category:
