Abstract
MODERN spectrographs suitable for industrial work originated in Great Britain nearly thirty years ago, and their application to industry has been continuously increasing for three main reasons. First, for purely routine control, the spectrographic method is often much more rapid than a purely chemical one and, moreover, may require fewer workers. Secondly, chemical analysis may be less reliable when the estimation of mere traces of certain elements is involved. Finally, only small quantities of material are required for spectrographic analysis.
