(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.
1.3 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
