ASTM E255

Sampling Copper and Copper Alloys for the Determination of Chemical Composition

Applicability: ASTM E255 is a standard practice that outlines the procedures for sampling copper and copper alloys, both cast and wrought, for chemical composition analysis. It is primarily used for ensuring compliance with compositional specifications in product standards.

Purpose: The purpose of ASTM E255 is to ensure that the analyzed sample is representative of the larger lot or batch of material.
