scope:

1.1 These test methods cover photometric procedures for the chemical analysis of copper and copper alloys having chemical compositions within the following limits:

Copper, % 50 and over Tin, % 0.0 to 20 Lead, % 0.0 to 27 Iron, % 0.0 to 4 Manganese, % 0.0 to 6 Silicon, % 0.0 to 5 Aluminum, % 0.0 to 12 Nickel, % 0.0 to 5 Sulfur, % 0.0 to 0.1 Phosphorus, % 0.0 to 1.0 Arsenic, % 0.0 to 1.0 Antimony, % 0.0 to 1.0 Zinc remainder
