Standard Specification for Sampling and Sample Preparation of Lead and Lead Alloys for Optical Emission Spectrometric or ICP Analysis

ABSTRACT
This specification covers the sampling of lead and lead alloys to obtain a sample suitable for quantitative optical emission spectrochemical analysis. It includes procedures for sample preparation, obtaining representative samples from molten metal, from fabricated, or cast products that can be melted, and from other forms that cannot be melted. This specification, used in conjunction with an appropriate quantitative optical emission spectrochemical method, is suitable for use in manufacturing control, material or product acceptance, and development and research. It deals with ordering information, materials and manufacture, composition, sizes and shapes, appearance, lot, sampling for chemical analysis, apparatus, preparation of specimens, marking and special requirements, inspection, and rejection and rehearing.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the sampling of lead and lead alloys to obtain a sample suitable for quantitative optical emission spectrochemical analysis. Included are procedures for sample preparation, obtaining representative samples from molten metal, from fabricated, or cast products that can be melted, and from other forms that cannot be melted.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.3 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.4 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.

Standard Specification for Pig Tin

ABSTRACT
This specification covers refined tin in pig form recovered and cast from primary and secondary tin bearing materials. One grade of tin metal is specified and is designated as Grade A. The refined tin shall be produced from primary, secondary, or a combination of tin-bearing materials to obtain the requirements of this specification, and may be manufactured by fire refining, vacuum refining, electrolytic or electrowinning refining methods, or a combination of these methods. The metal shall conform to the chemical composition requirements prescribed for tin, antimony, arsenic, bismuth, cadmium, copper, iron, lead, nickel, sulfur, zinc, silver, and other impurities. All tin of Grade A produced and cast at one time shall constitute a lot for chemical analysis. Sampling for chemical analysis shall be one of the following methods: (1) sampling from the lot during casting, and (2) sampling from the solidified cast pig product by sawing, drilling, or melting. The methods of sampling cast pig product are illustrated. If product analysis is desired, it may be made by methods including, but not limited to, wet chemical or spectrographic techniques.
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
11.1 For the purpose of determining compliance with the specified limits for requirements of the properties listed in Table 1, an observed value or a calculated value shall be rounded as indicated in accordance with the rounding method of Practice E29.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers refined tin in pig form recovered and cast from primary and secondary tin-bearing materials. One grade of tin metal is specified and is designated by the grade letter shown in Table 1.
1.2 The percent values of tin contained are to be regarded as the standard.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to become familiar with all hazards including those identified in the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/material as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate safety, health, and environmental practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
1.5 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
