This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version

supplementary requirements that are indicated in the purchase order. Failure to comply with the general requirements of

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 SamplingSmallBags—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 necessary, to pass through a No. 10 (2.00-mm) sieve, and the subsequent sampling procedure shall be
as prescribed in 5.1 .
5.3 Correcting Sample to Dry Net Weight—Absorption of moisture by the material would depress the analytical percentages
with respect to the dry basis, on which the product was analyzed when packaged.Accordingly, any analytical sample shall be dried
at110°C,beforeanalysis,andthesampler’smoistnetweightoftheshipment,ofamanufacturinglot,orofanyconstituentpackage
