1. Scope
1.1 These test methods describe procedures for determining the presence of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) in products made from deoxidized and oxygen-free copper.
1.2 Units Inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.
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.
1.4 The test methods appear in the following order:
| Sections |
| |
| Microscopical Examination without Thermal Treatment | |
| Microscopical Examination after Thermal Treatment | |
| Closed Bend Test after Thermal Treatment | |
| Reverse Bend Test after Thermal Treatment | |
