ASTM E1059-91(1996)

Standard Practice for Designating Shapes and Sizes of Nongraphite Counter Electrodes

SCOPE
1.1 This practice describes a number of specific nongraphite counter electrode shapes and sizes that are useful in spectrochemical analysis.  
1.2 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, 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.
