(Specification)Standard Specification for Molybdenum Oxide Products
Standard Specification for Molybdenum Oxide Products
ABSTRACT
This specification covers four grades of molybdenum oxide, designates as A, B1, B2, and molybdic oxide briquets. The various grades shall conform to the required chemical compositions of molybdenum, sulfur, and copper. The materials shall be sampled and shall undergo correction of the sample to dry net weight.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers four grades of molybdenum oxide, designated as A, B1, B2, and molybdic oxide briquets.
1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

3. General Conditions for Delivery
3.1 Materials furnished to this specification shall conform to the requirements of Specification A1025, including any
supplementary requirements that are indicated in the purchase order. Failure to comply with the general requirements of
Specification A1025 constitutes nonconformance with this specification. In case of conflict between the requirements of this
specification and Specification A1025, this specification shall prevail.
4. Chemical Requirements
4.1 The various grades shall conform to the requirements as to chemical composition specified in Table 1.
4.2 The manufacturer shall furnish an analysis of each shipment showing the percentage of each element specified.
5. Sampling
5.1 Sampling Small Bags—When packed in the standardized small packages, each holding contained molybdenum, the material
shall be sampled by selecting at random one twentieth of the bags that may bear the same manufacturing lot number, and the
combined content of these bags shall be reduced and analyzed as a separate sample. When a shipment cannot be divided by lot
numbers, one twentieth of the total number of bags constituting the shipment shall be selected and treated as one sample. The
material forming a sample shall be crushed if necessary, and in any event passed through a No. 10 (2.00-mm) sieve. The sample
after sieving shall be thoroughly mixed by coning and then reduced to about 2 lb (0.9 kg) by quartering or by means of a riffle
sampler. The reduced sample shall then be crushed and passed through a No. 60 (250-μm) sieve. The sample after sieving shall
again be mixed by coning and then divided through a riffle, preferably a Jones divider, into the required number of analytical
samples.
5.2 Sampling Large Containers—When packed in drums or large bags or cartons, the material shall be sampled by selecting
about one twentieth of the content of each package that may bear the same manufacturing lot number, and the combined material
selected shall be reduced and analyzed as a separate sample. When a shipment cannot be divided by lot numbers, about one
twentieth of the content of each package in the shipment shall be selected, and the combined material selected shall be treated as
one sample. The material comprising a sample shall be thoroughly mixed by coning and reduced by half-shoveling, alternating the
operations until the residual weight reaches about 40 lb (18.1 kg). Segregation of sizes shall be carefully avoided. The sample thus
reduced shall be crushed, if necessa
