About This Item
ASTM D5673 is the ASTM standard for measuring elements in water by inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, a technique used to determine elemental composition with high sensitivity. It provides a technical basis for analyzing water samples in a consistent, laboratory-controlled way, which can support reporting, quality control, and compliance-related testing. For buyers and laboratories, this standard helps define a recognized approach for element analysis and related performance expectations.
What is ASTM D5673?
ASTM D5673, Standard Test Method for Elements in Water by Inductively Coupled Plasma—Mass Spectrometry, is a test method for determining elements present in water using ICP-MS instrumentation. The standard is intended to guide laboratories in applying a recognized analytical procedure for water analysis, helping produce results that are comparable and technically defensible. As an ASTM standard, it serves as a common reference for method selection, laboratory practice, and data interpretation in elemental testing workflows.
Where is ASTM D5673 used?
This standard is commonly used in laboratories that test water samples for elemental content, especially where precise low-level measurement is important. It may be applied in environmental, industrial, or quality assurance settings that rely on ICP-MS equipment and documented test methods. ASTM D5673 is also useful in procurement and compliance workflows when a defined method is needed for water analysis, sample reporting, or verification of analytical performance.
Why is ASTM D5673 important?
ASTM D5673 matters because it supports consistent elemental analysis of water using a widely recognized instrumental method. Using a standard test method can improve comparability between laboratories, strengthen quality control, and reduce uncertainty in reported results. For organizations that depend on analytical data, it helps align testing practices with a common ASTM framework, which can be valuable for compliance, product evaluation, and risk reduction. ASTM D5673 also provides a clearer basis for specifying laboratory requirements.
