These test methods cover photometric procedures for the chemical analysis of copper and copper alloys having chemical compositions within certain set limits.

Formerly under the jurisdiction of Committee E01 on Analytical Chemistry for Metals, Ores, and Related Materials, these test methods were withdrawn in March 2010. This standard was withdrawn without replacement due to its limited use by the industry.

These test methods for the chemical analysis of metals and alloys are primarily intended as referee methods 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.

1.1 These test methods cover photometric procedures for the chemical analysis of copper and copper alloys having chemical compositions within the following limits:

1.2 The analytical procedures appear in the following order:

1.3 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. For precautions to be observed in the use of certain reagents, refer to Practices E 50.
