ASTM-A1093/A1093M:2015 Edition

1.1 This specification covers the requirements for cleaning, coating, or surface modification, or combinations thereof, of conductive materials, primarily metals.

1.2 This specification covers any conductive material treated or processed by the electrolytic plasma process (EPP) including: products designated as long products, including wire and fine wire; flat-rolled materials; fasteners; connectors; bolts; assemblies; structural materials; hardware items; and medical items.

1.3 Products created under this process shall specifically specify requirements for the specific product being processed using the EPP process.

1.4 This specification is applicable for orders in either inch-pound or SI units.

1.5 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.

1.6 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.
