    This document describes a gravimetric method for determining total carbon, graphitic carbon, and combined carbon in cast iron, alloyed cast iron, and pig iron. The method involves: 1) Burning the sample in oxygen to form carbon dioxide, which is absorbed and weighed to determine total carbon. 2) Dissolving the sample in acids to isolate graphitic carbon, which is filtered, dried, ignited, and the carbon dioxide formed is absorbed and weighed. 3) Determining combined carbon by taking the difference between total carbon and graphitic carbon.
