ASTM A623-02a

Standard Specification for Tin Mill Products, General Requirements

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers a group of common requirements which, unless otherwise specified in the purchase order or in an individual specification, shall apply to tin mill products.
1.2 In case of any conflict in requirements, the requirements of the purchase order, the individual material specification, and this general specification shall prevail in the sequence named.
Note 1—A complete metric companion to Specification A 623 has been developed-Specification A 623M; therefore no metric equivalents are presented in this specification.
1.3 The following safety caveat pertains to through of this specification: 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.
