Summary of Method
Trivalent chromium in the sample is oxidized to the hexavalent form by
hypobromite ion under alkaline conditions. The sample is acidified. The total
chromium content is determined by the 1,5-Diphenylcarbohydrazide method.
Determine trivalent chromium by subtracting the results of a separate
hexavalent chromium test from the results of the total chromium test.
Test results are measured at 540 nm.
