Methods of Chemical Analysis7.1 An analysis of each lot sh
15、all be made by the supplier.The analysis shall be made from representative test samplesobtained from the lot during pouring or from the final pigproduct. The chemical composition determined shall conformto the requirements of Table 1.7.2 If a product analysis is desired by the purchaser, it shallbe
16、made in the purchasers laboratory or elsewhere. Suchanalysis may be made by various methods including, but notlimited to, wet chemical or spectrographic techniques.8. Lot8.1 All tin of Grade A produced and cast at one time shallconstitute a lot for chemical analysis. Each pig of the lot shallbear a
17、single identifying number that can be related to themanufacturing lot. This lot number can be cast, metal diestamped, or marked legibly upon each pig.9. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance9.1 The manufacturer shall use care to have each lot of tinmaterial as uniform in quality as possible.9.2 The pi
18、gs shall be clean and reasonably free of adheringforeign material.10. Sampling for Chemical Analysis10.1 Care must be taken to ensure that the sample selectedfor testing is representative of the material. The method ofsampling for chemical analysis shall be agreed upon mutuallybetween the supplier a
19、nd the purchaser and shall consist of oneof the following methods:10.1.1 Test samples taken from the lot during casting or10.1.2 Test samples taken from the final solidified cast pigproduct.10.2 Sampling From the Lot During CastingThe suppliermay obtain representative chill cast samples from the lot
20、 ofmolten metal during casting. The shape of the cast sample shallbe agreed upon by all parties concerned. The molten metalshall be mechanically stirred and dip samples taken. If thematerial is produced in a pot or kettle, the material shall bedrossed, stirred, and dip samples taken. If the facility
21、 does notallow for dip sampling, the samples shall be taken at thebeginning, at the middle, and at the end of the pour. Thesampling ladle must be clean and heated and the molten metalcast into chilled molds which produce forms suitable forinstrument use, drilling of cast sample, or sawing of castsam
22、ple. Samples drawn at the producers plant shall be from aclean bath of metal with all dross having been removed.10.3 Sampling of Cast Pig Product:10.3.1 If the pigs are of standard form (see Fig. 1), thesample for chemical analysis shall be taken in accordance with10.3.3.1, 10.3.3.2,or10.3.3.4. If t
23、he pigs differ in shape andsize from those shown in Fig. 1, the supplier and purchasershould agree mutually as to the method to follow in samplingsuch pigs.10.3.2 SamplingA portion representative of the total ship-ment shall be selected at random for the final sample. For lotscontaining at least 55
24、115 lb (25 000 kg) of pig tin, one pigshall be taken for every 10 000 lb (4530 kg) or part thereof. Forsmaller lots, five pigs shall be taken at random. In case ofshipment lots less than five pigs, each pig shall be sampled atleast once or as many times as may be necessary to provide asufficient sam
25、ple for analysis. A minimum of five pigs ispreferred for sampling. If a shipment is comprised of batchesidentified by heat numbers, each heat should be sampled as aseparate lot.10.3.3 Sample PreparationEach pig should be cleanedthoroughly to rid the surface of dirt or adhering foreignmaterial prior
26、to sampling by one of the following methods:sawing, drilling, or melting.10.3.3.1 SawingThe pigs selected shall be sawed com-pletely through as illustrated in Fig. 1 (one cut per pig) or shallbe sawed half way across from both sides as illustrated in Fig.2 and Fig. 3 (two cuts on each pig). The sawi
27、ngs from all thepigs shall be mixed thoroughly and quartered, and the samplesfor analysis taken from the mixed material. The sawings mustbe free of extraneous material introduced from the saw blade.All sawings should be screened to remove any coagulated sawchips and treated with a strong magnet to r
28、emove ironintroduced by sawing. No lubricant shall be used when sawing.10.3.3.2 DrillingThe pigs shall be drilled all the waythrough the depth of pig as shown in Fig. 4 (one hole per pig)or drilled half way through the depth of pig from top andbottom as shown in Fig. 5 (two holes12 depth per pig). A
29、 drillsize of about12 in. (12.7 mm) in diameter is preferred and inno instance shall the drill size be less than38 in. (9.5 mm) indiameter. A standing drill or bench drill should be usedFIG. 1 Pig Tin Sampling MethodsFIG. 2 Pigs Sampled in Sets of Five According to Template asShown AboveB 339 00 (20
30、05)2whenever possible, as hand held drills are normally high speed,therefore creating problems with drill breakage. In drilling, theholes shall be spaced along a diagonal line from one corner ofthe pig to the opposite corner. No lubricant shall be used indrilling. The drillings shall be clipped into
31、 pieces not over12in. in length, mixed thoroughly, quartered, and treated with astrong magnet to remove iron introduced by the drilling.10.3.3.3 The saws, drills, cutter, or other tools used forsampling shall be thoroughly cleaned prior to use. The cleaningof the test samples shall include machining
32、 the test pieces inseveral positions to remove oxidized surfaces not as specifiedin Fig. 1. Metal pieces so produced are not to be included inany sample. Whenever possible, it is preferred that the sam-pling tools used are not composed of material that could causecontamination. Tools made of iron ma
33、y contaminate the tinsample if the iron particles embedded in the soft tin are notcompletely removed by magnetic separation.10.3.3.4 MeltingWhole pigs or portions of pigs producedby sawing or drilling shall be melted under palm oil in a cleanvessel and heated to the auto ignition point (600F (316C)
34、ofpalm oil, and must be stirred immediately prior to sampling.The molten tin shall be chill cast into shapes for use in thespectrographic analysis, or chill cast into thin sample bars notto exceed38 in. (9.5 mm) thick for sawing. Residual palm oilin the surface should be removed in hot distilled wat
35、er with asuitable detergent. For sample bars, saw cuts shall be madehalfway across the bar from each side and staggered so they are3164 in. (12.5 mm) apart; the sawings so produced are treated inaccordance with 10.3.3.1.10.3.4 Sample Size:10.3.4.1 For spectrographic analysis, three samples shall bep
36、repared of a size and shape satisfactory for use by thelaboratory at which the analysis is to be made.10.3.4.2 For wet chemical analysis, each prepared sample(sawings or drillings) shall weigh at least 113 lb (600 g).10.3.5 Aspects of sampling and sample preparation notspecifically covered in this s
37、pecification shall be carried out inaccordance with Practice E88.11. Significance of Numerical Limits11.1 For the purpose of determining compliance with thespecified limits for requirements of the properties listed inTable 1, an observed value or a calculated value shall berounded as indicated in ac
38、cordance with the rounding methodof Practice E29.12. Test Method12.1 Analyze the sample of tin for impurities in accordancewith Test Methods E46or Methods E51orE57.12.2 An alternative method that may be used by the pur-chaser is the wet chemical method; however, this method is notacceptable in the c
39、ase of disagreement.13. Inspection13.1 Inspection may be made at the manufacturers factorywhere the material is made, or at the point where it is received,at the option of the purchaser.13.2 If the purchaser elects to have inspection made at themanufacturers factory or at a public warehouse, the man
40、ufac-turer shall afford the inspector representing the purchaser allreasonable facilities to satisfy him that the material is beingfurnished in accordance with this specification. All tests andinspection shall be so conducted as not to interfere with theoperation of the factory.14. Rejection and Reh
41、earing14.1 RejectionMaterial that fails to conform to the re-quirements of this specification may be rejected. Rejectionshould be reported to the supplier promptly and in writing. Incase of dissatisfaction with the results of the test, the suppliermay make claim for a rehearing.14.2 Rejection shall
42、be considered as follows:FIG. 3 Method of Sampling Tin by SawingFIG. 4 TemplateNOTE 1Pigs selected for sampling shall be placed side by side, everyother pig bottom up and sampled according to template in sets of five pigseach as indicated above. The pigs shall be drilled at least halfway through.Whe
43、n a larger sample is desired the pigs shall be turned over and sampledon the other side.FIG. 5 TemplateMethod of Sampling Tin by DrillingB 339 00 (2005)314.2.1 Variation in weight, quantity, dimensions, or quality.14.2.2 Chemical Composition:14.2.2.1 In case of dispute, the pigs shall be sampled in
44、thepresence of both parties in accordance with 10.3.14.2.2.2 The resulting sample (at least 4 lb (1800 g) shallbe mixed and separated into three equal parts, each of whichshall be placed in a sealed package, one for the supplier, one forthe purchaser, and one for the umpire, if necessary. Themanufac
45、turer and purchaser shall each make an analysis, and ifthe results do not establish or dismiss the claim to thesatisfaction of both parties, the sample shall be submitted to amutually agreed upon umpire, who shall determine the ques-tion of fact, and whose determination shall be final.14.3 Rehearing
46、In the event of disagreement between thesupplier and the purchaser on the conformance of the materialto the requirements of this specification, a mutually acceptableumpire shall perform the test in accordance with an agreedupon method.
