(7.9 mm) for other grades of zine. ‘The dillings shall be broken or cut with clean shears into Ficees not over 4s in. in length and mixed thoraughly. 824 Sawing—Using, preferably, a heat treated high- speed steel sav, make two cuts completely across. and through the slab from one long. side to the other. Each cut shall b: approximately halfway between the center and each cad. The width of the saw cut shall be sufficient to give the veight of sample prescribed in 8.2.5, and cuttings from all the slabs shall be mixed thoroughly to form a uniform sample, 8.25 Size of Sample and Storage—The prepared sample ‘hall weigh at least 1600 g for Special High Grade zinc, and atleast 300 g for other grades of zine. The properly mixed sample shall be split into three equal pars, each of which Shale placed in a sealed package, one for the manufacturer, ne fer the purchaser, and one for 2 referee, if necessary. ‘Tight, leak-proof, paper sample envelopes or cardboard castons may be used to hold the sample. 8.3 Uf the zinc is in shapes other than standard slabs, the sampling procedure shall be agreed upon between the manufacturer or seller and the purcheser, 8.4 Aspects of simpling and sample preparation not ‘overod specifically in this specification skall be carried out in accordance with Practice E 88. §. Methods of Chemical Analysis 9.1 The chemical compositions enumerated in this speci fication shall, in case of disagrocment, be determined by methods mutually agreed upon or the methods listed in Table 2 approved for referce purposes by the American Society for Testing and Matcrials. Test Method E536 and ‘Test Methods E 47 for tin only shall be used, 10, Claims 10,1 Claims to be considered shall be made in writing to ‘ne mnufacturer within 30 days of receip: of material at the purchaser's plaat ard the results of the purchaser's tests shall begiven. The manufacturer shall be given one (1) week from. date of reeipt of such claim to investigate his revords and then shall agree cither to satisfy the claim or send a representative to the plant of the purcheser. 10.1.1 Analysis of Car Lots—No claims shall be consid- ered unless the minimum samples as specified in 8.2.1 can be shown to such representative, 10.1.2 Physical Defects of tndividwal Pieces—No claims shall be considered unless the zinc metal in question, unused, can be shown to such representative, 10.1.3 When the zinc metal satisties the chemical and physical requirements of this specification, it shall not be condemned for defects in manufacturing, for defects of alloys in which it isused, or for defects in the coating of zinc-coated products, 11, Investigation of Claims LL The inspector representing the manufacturer shall examine all picees where physical defects are claimed. If agresment is not reached, the question of fact shall be submitiod to a mutually agresable referees, whose decision shall be final 11.2. On a question of metal contents, a sample shall be drawn in the presence of representatives of both the manu- facturer and the purchaser as described in Section 8. ‘The ‘manufacturer and the purchaser shall each make an analysis, and if the results do not establish or dismiss the claim to the satisfaction of both parties, the third sample shall be sab mitted to a mutually agreeable referee, who shall determine the question of quality, end whose determination shall be final. 12, Settlement of Claims 12.1 The expenses of the manufacturer's representative and of the referee shall be paid by the loser or divided in Proportion to concession made in case of compromise. In case of rejection being established, maximum damages shall be limited 10 the payment of freight both ways by the manufacturer for substitution of an equivalent weight of zinc metal conforming to this specification,40 SPECIFICATIONS FOR MATERIALS M 120 qb Be 13.
