1、Designation: B671 81 (Reapproved 2010)Standard Specification forRefined Iridium1This standard is issued under the fixed designation B671; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parent
2、heses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This specification covers refined iridium as sponge andpowder in two grades as follows:1.1.1 Grade 99.80 (UNS PO6100)Iridium having a purityof 99.80 %.
3、1.1.2 Grade 99.90Iridium having a purity of 99.90 %.NOTE 1For the purposes of determining conformance with thisspecification, an observed value obtained from analysis shall be roundedto the nearest unit in the last right-hand place of figures used in expressingthe limiting value, in accordance with
4、the rounding method of PracticeE29.1.2 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematicalconversions to SI units that are provided for information onlyand are not considered standard.1.3 This standard does not purport to address all
5、of thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to become familiarwith all hazards including those identified in the appropriateMaterial Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/materialas provided by the manufacturer, to establish approp
