ASTM specification for chrome plating

Is there an ASTM specification for chrome plating that describes the different classes, thickness, finishes, etc.?

Thanks,

ASTM B650 is the specification for chromium electroplating on iron and steel, and will have the information on classes, etc. Also worth reading is ASTM B177, the Standard Guide of Chromium Electroplating on Steel for Engineering Use.

Good luck!
