Standard Test Methods, Practices, and Terminology for Chemical Analysis of Steel Products

SCOPE
1.1 This standard covers 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 This standard applies only to those product standards which include this standard or parts thereof as a requirement.  
1.4 In cases of conflict, the product specification requirements shall take precedence over the requirements of this standard.
1.5 Attention is directed to Practice A880 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.

Chemical Analysis of Steel Products
This standard is issued under the fixed designation A 751; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of
original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A
superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.
INTRODUCTION
This standard was prepared to answer the need for a single document that would include all aspects
of obtaining and reporting the chemical analysis of steel, stainless steel, and related alloys. Such
subjects as definitions of terms and product (check) analysis variations (tolerances) required
clarification. Requirements for sampling, meeting specified limits, and treatment of data usually were
not clearly established in product specifications.
It is intended that this standard will contain all requirements for the determination of chemical
composition of steel, stainless steel, or related alloys so that product specifications will need contain
only special modifications and exceptions.
