Describes three procedures for macroscopic assessment - the oxidation-fracture, step-machined and magnetic particle methods. The field of application is given for each test together with procedures for preparing test pieces, performing the test, and the reporting of the test results.

This standard describes macroscopic methods for the assessment of the non-metallic inclusion content in wrought steel products.
