ASTM A751-14 - 1.3.2014
 
1. Scope

1.1 These test methods, practices, and terminology cover definitions, reference methods, practices, and guides relating to the chemical analysis of steel, stainless steel, and related alloys. It includes both wet chemical and instrumental techniques.

1.2 Directions are provided for handling chemical requirements, product analyses, residual elements, and reference standards, and for the treatment and reporting of chemical analysis data.

1.3 These test methods, practices, and terminology apply only to those product standards which include these test methods, practices, and terminology, or parts thereof, as a requirement.

1.4 In cases of conflict, the product specification requirements shall take precedence over the requirements of these test methods, practices, and terminology.

1.5 Attention is directed to ISO/IEC 17025 when there may be a need for information on criteria for evaluation of testing laboratories.

1.6 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 and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
