The purchaser, upon request, shall be informed of therefining process used.3.2 The bars shall be of a quality generally acceptable to thetrade.4. Chemical Composition4

9、.1 The refined gold shall conform to the chemical compo-sition prescribed in Table 1.NOTE 2For 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 limiti

10、ng value, in accordance with the rounding method of PracticeE29.5. Sampling5.1 On agreement between the manufacturer and thepurchaser, a sample may be taken from the melt before pouring(Note 3). The sample shall be in the form of shot or pins (Note4 and Note 5).NOTE 3A single melt or bar(s) cast fro

11、m a single melt shall constitutea lot for sampling.NOTE 4Pins of38 in. (9.5 mm) or other suitable diameter may be castinto graphite molds or drawn into evacuated glass tubes. In some cases itmay be necessary to draw the glass tube pins through 60-grit emery paperbefore acid leaching to remove adheri

12、ng glass particles.NOTE 5In order to avoid surface contamination, the sample, irrespec-tive of its nature, is to be leached in hot 1 + 1 HCl for 5 min, washed inwater, rinsed twice in alcohol or acetone, and dried in a muffle at 110Cbefore portions are taken for analysis.5.2 On agreement between man

13、ufacturer and purchaser analternative sampling procedure may be used.5.3 The amount of sample taken shall be sufficient to supplythree portions for analysis; the mass of each portion shall besufficient to permit the determination of its composition as setforth in Table 1.1This specification is under

14、 the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee B02 onNonferrous Metals and Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeB02.05 on Precious Metals and Electrical Contact Materials.Current edition approved Nov. 1, 2017.

United StatesThis international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for theDevelopment of International

17、Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.15.4 After mixing thoroughly, the sample shall be dividedinto three parts, each placed in a package and sealed; one forthe manufacturer, one for the purchaser, and one for theumpi

18、re.5.5 All tools required are to be reserved exclusively for thiswork.6. Method of Analysis6.1 Chemical composition of the materials set forth in thisspecification shall be determined, in case of disagreement, inaccordance with Test Method E1446. The selection of testmethods for the determination of

19、 elements not covered by thattest method shall be a matter of agreement between themanufacturer and the purchaser.6.2 Chemical composition of materials required for Grade99.5 refined gold shall be determined by a test method similarto the fire assay test method listed in the appendix.7. Rejection an

20、d Rehearing7.1 Rejection:7.1.1 Claims to be considered shall be made to the manu-facturer in writing within 30 days of receipt of the material atthe purchasers plant, and the results of tests made by thepurchaser shall accompany such claims. The manufacturershall be given one week from the date of r

21、eceipt of thecomplaint to investigate his records, and shall then agree eitherto satisfy the claim or to submit samples to an umpire. Noclaim shall be considered unless a portion of the original goldbars can be shown to the representative of the manufacturer.7.1.2 Where the gold satisfies the requir

22、ements of thisspecification, it shall not be condemned for defects in theproducts in which it is used.7.2 Investigation of ClaimsIn a question of chemicalcomposition, a sample shall be drawn by representatives ofboth parties in accordance with Section 5. The sample shall besuitably separated into th

23、ree parts, each of which shall beplaced in a sealed package, one for the manufacturer, one forthe purchaser, and one for an umpire, if necessary. Themanufacturer and the purchaser shall each make an analysis,and if the results do not establish or dismiss the claim to thesatisfaction of both parties,

24、 the third sample shall be submittedto a mutually agreeable umpire, who shall determine thequestion of fact, and whose determination shall be final.8. Settlement of Claims8.1 The expenses of the manufacturers representative andof the umpire shall be paid by the loser or divided in proportionto the c

25、oncession made in case of compromise. In the case ofrejection being established, the damages shall be limited to thepayment of transportation charges both ways by the manufac-turer for substitution of an equivalent weight of gold conform-ing to this specification.9. Product Marking9.1 The brand by w

26、hich the manufacturer can be identifiedshall be cast or otherwise legibly marked upon each bar. Thebar shall be marked with the fineness together with the meltnumber, bar number, and weight to the nearest 0.001 troy oz(0.03 g).10.
