This specification covers zinc and zinc alloy jumbo and block ingots meeting dimensional requirements. Zinc jumbo and block ingot specifications shall include dimension definition and limits in dimension. Jumbo or block ingots, or both, shall be reasonably free from dross, cracks, adhering foreign matter, undue surface oxide, and any "flash" that would interfere with handling and use.
