ASTM E37-05(2011)

Standard Test Methods for Chemical Analysis of Pig Lead (Withdrawn 2020)

SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
These test methods for the chemical analysis of metals and alloys are primarily intended to test such materials for compliance with compositional specifications. It is assumed that all who use these methods will be trained analysts capable of performing common laboratory procedures skillfully and safely. It is expected that work will be performed in a properly equipped laboratory.
SCOPE
1.1 These test methods cover the chemical analysis of pig lead having chemical compositions within the following limits:
WITHDRAWN RATIONALE
These test methods covered the chemical analysis of pig lead.
Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee E01 on Analytical Chemistry for Metals, Ores, and Related Materials, these test methods were withdrawn in July 2020 in accordance with section 10.6.3 of the Regulations Governing ASTM Technical Committees, which requires that standards shall be updated by the end of the eighth year since the last approval date.
