8、5.4.Significance and Use4.1 This guide is intended to assist those writing or revisingcompositional specifications,sampling practices,and testmethods for ferrous and non-ferrous metals,ores,and relatedmaterials.It is directed toward those areas that must beaddressed to properly coordinate compositio
9、nal specification,sampling practice,and test methods.Its use will help ensurethat compositional requirements are clearly defined and thatsampling practices and test methods are available to meetproduct specifications.4.2 This guide does not attempt to define which elementsshould be controlled,where
10、samples should be taken,or howthey should be analyzed.These items are addressed in stan-dards such as Specification A276,Methods,Practices andTerminology A751,Test Method E34,Practice E255,TestMethod E342,and Test Methods E350.4.3 A primary purpose for ASTM sampling practices andtest methods is to p
11、rovide widely-accepted and tested method-ology for use in meeting ASTM product specifications.Al-though it is recognized that individual laboratories are free touse other methods,the availability of ASTM approved meth-odology is essential for referee purposes and to demonstratethat properly equipped
12、 laboratories can make the requiredmeasurements.4.4 Sampling practices and test methods to be recom-mended for use in testing a given product are most easilyselected cooperatively by the specification-writing and themethods-writing committees that have jurisdiction over theproduct.When existing samp
