using a metallurgical
microscope and a set of standard diagrams arranged in a
systematic sequence, which enables the micrograph to be
described on the basis of the type and size of inclusion
(length and width or diameter) and the frequency
(standard diagram plate 11. An index proportional to the
content of inclursions from a specified limit slze upwards
can be calculated separately for the oxide and sulfide
,components or ,as a total value. There is also provision
for determining maximunr sizes.

that are thinner anrd more fragmonted or more tightly
grouped than would correspond to the diagroms of the

according to ths araa of the inclucions also applies for
