SUPERSEDED (see Active link, below)
ASTM B388
1. Scope
1.1 This specification covers thermostat metals in the form of sheet or strip that are used for the temperature-sensitive elements of devices for controlling, compensating, or indicating temperature and is intended to supply acceptance requirements to purchasers ordering this material by type designation.
1.2 The values in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The metric equivalent to inch-pound units may be approximate.
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 become familiar with all hazards including those identified in the appropriate Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for this product/material as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate safety and health practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
