ASTM E1277-14

5.1 This test method for the chemical analysis of metals and alloys is primarily intended to test such materials for compliance with compositional specifications. It is assumed that all those who use this test method will be trained analysts capable of performing common laboratory procedures skillfully and safely. It is expected that work will be performed in a properly equipped laboratory.

1.1 This test method covers the chemical analysis of zinc alloys having chemical compositions within the following limits:

1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.

1.3 Included are procedures for elements in the following composition ranges:

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 establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use. Specific safety hazards statements are given in Section 8, 11.2, and 13.1.
