ASTM D 6716 : 2008

CONTAINED IN VOL. 15.04, 2013 Defines the determination of total ash in wet blue and wet white.

1.1 This test method covers the determination of total ash in wet blue and wet white.

1.2 For total ash in wet white, the procedure is identical; substitute wet white for wet blue in the standard.

1.3 Total ash in wet blue may be reported upon a number of different bases (for example, fat-free, moisture-free, as received, excluding chromium, and so forth). Before proceeding with any tests, it is very important to determine upon which basis that the total ash is to be reported and to identify all other test methods that will be required to be executed in order to achieve the determined reporting method.

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

1.5 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.
