Description / Abstract:
This specification covers a group of common requirements that,
unless otherwise specified in an individual specification, shall
apply to ferroalloys and other alloying materials under
This specification also covers a group of supplementary
requirements which may be applied to the above specifications as
indicated therein. These are provided for use when additional
testing or inspection is desired and apply only when specified
individually by the purchaser in the order.
In case of conflict between the requirements of the individual
specification and this general specification, the former shall
prevail.
Units—The values stated in either SI units or inchpound
units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated
in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system
shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the
two systems may result in nonconformance with the standard.
This specification is expressed in both inch-pound units and in
SI units (Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets);
however, unless the purchase order or contract specifies the
applicable M specification designation (SI units), the inch-pound
units shall apply.
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
requirements prior to use.
