4.1 Grade and class
4.1.1 According to the molecule ratio, synthetic cryolite shall be divided into two classes. One class with molecule ratio between 2.80 and 3.00 shall be defined as high molecule ratio synthetic cryolite, and the other one with molecule ratio between 1.00 and <2.80 shall be defined as ordinary synthetic cryolite. Molecule ratio shall be calculated according to formula (1):

In formula (1):
Na Mass fraction of sodium in synthetic cryolite product, %;
Al Mass fraction of aluminum in synthetic cryolite product, %;
26.9815 Relative atomic mass of aluminum;
22.9897 Relative atomic mass of sodium.
The calculation results shall be kept to the second decimal place.
4.1.2 Synthetic cryolite shall be devided into four grades such as CH-0, CH-1, CM-0 and CM-1. Four grades shall be represented by two English letters and a horizontal line "-" followed by a number,The letter C shall represent the identification code of synthetic cryolite (C is the first letter of cryolite); The letter H and M shall represent the class of synthetic cryolite where H is the high molecule ratio synthetic cryolite, M is the ordinary synthetic cryolite, and the number (0 or 1) is the order number.
4.2 Chemical composition and physical property
The chemical composition and physical property of synthetic cryolite shall meet the regulations in Table 1. Special requirements for chemical composition and physical properties proposed by the purchaser shall be specified in the order (or contract) after being determined by the supplier and the purchaser.
