ASTM E 1473 : 2003

1.1 These test methods describe the chemical analysis of nickel, cobalt, and high-temperature alloys having chemical compositions within the following limits:

1.2 The test methods in this standard are contained in the sections indicated as follows:

1.3 Methods for the determination of several elements not included in these test methods can be found in Test Methods E 30, E 76, and E 1019.

1.4 Some of the concentration ranges given in are too broad to be covered by a single method, and therefore, these test methods contain multiple methods for some elements. The user must select the proper test method by matching the information given in the scope and interference sections of each test method with the composition of the alloy to be analyzed.

1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. In some cases, exceptions allowed in Practice E 380 are also used.

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. Specific hazard statements are given in Section 7 and in special caution and warning paragraphs throughout these test methods.
