How- ve, inons produced from ores by other snciting f mduction processes and used for the same tocral purpose as the Mast furnace product shall besa to be pig iron under this specifi- 1.2 Unless otherwise specified, the weight of dividual pugs shall not exceed 60 I (27 ke) 43.3 The pig iron be clean and free from ‘ermmve arnownts of dross and sand. Chemical Composition 4 Standard Grades and Composition—The ‘edard grades of pig iron, which are based lmarity o@ phosphorus content, shall conform the chemacal compusibon requirements pre ‘hed in Table | as to silicon, sulfur, phospho- (and manganese 42 Nonmandard Grades and Compositions — i l tir i | * > 4.32 Ib addition to carbo there are other unspecified elements found in pig iron, com monly referred to as incidental elements: These Gements may be present .a wpnificast amounts, depending on their content in the charge mate- ‘ials and the ease of recucibility of their com- pounds They may matenaly influence the prop erbes of the castings made therefrom. Some of these dlements arc specifically intro- dlements may be neutral or harmful in their effect om the structure or properties of the castings produced, of both, depeadiag om the neture aad quantity of these elements.4.3.3 Where the effect of incidental elements is important, special agreement as to these cle- ments shall be made at the time of purchase (Appendix X1). 5S. Saumpling 5.1 The mamuilacturer shall establish sam- pling, handling, stock-piling, and shipping meth- ods which will assure the delivery of pig iron conforming to this specification. 5.2 The sampling of a carioed tot of pig iron ‘shall be made at the point of delivery in accord- ance with the procedure described in the section on sampling of pig iron of Method E59. The sampling of shipments in other than carioad lots ‘shall be agreed upon at the time of purchase. 6. Test Methods 6.1 Chemical Anaiysis-—Analysis shall be made in accordance with the procedures for cast ‘ivon as described in Method E 30. 6.2 Referee Analysis—tn case of dispute, the aa ‘sampling and chemical analysis shall be made in accordance with the provedure described in 7. Inspection 7.1 inspection of the material by the pur- chaser shal] be made as agreed by the purchaser and seller as part off the purchase contract. 8. Certification 8.1 Upon request of the purchaser im the con- (act or order, a manufacturer's certification that 2 report of the test resuits shall be furnished at the ame of shipment. 9. Rejection 9.1 All pig iron which fails to conform to this specification shall be subject to rejection. TABLE 1 Chemtes!
