Standard Specification for Steel, Sheet, Carbon, Structural, and High-Strength, Low-Alloy, Hot-Rolled and Cold-Rolled, General Requirements for
热轧和冷轧低合金结构和高强度碳素钢薄板的一般要求
1.1
This specification covers the general requirements for steel sheet in coils and cut lengths. It applies to the following specifications that describe carbon steel, structural steel, and high-strength, low-alloy steel (HSLA) furnished as hot-rolled sheet and cold-rolled sheet: Specifications
A414/A414M
,
A424/A424M
,
A606/A606M
,
A659/A659M
,
A794/A794M
,
A1008/A1008M
,
A1011/A1011M
, and
A1039/A1039M
.
1.2
This specification is not applicable to hot-rolled heavy-thickness carbon sheet coils (Specification
A635/A635M
).
1.3
In case of any conflict in requirements, the requirements of the individual material specification shall prevail over those of this general specification.
1.4
For the purposes of determining conformance with this and the appropriate product specification referenced in
1.1
, measured values, calculated values, or observed values shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the right hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting values in accordance with the rounding method of Practice
E29
.
1.4.1
Ordered values, identified in tables, specified such as over 30 through 48 or 30 exclusive to 48 inclusive, covers all ordered values specified as 30.1, 30.01, 30.001, etc., up to and including 48.000 etc., but does not cover ordered values specified as 30.000 etc., or less, nor does it cover ordered values specified as 48.1, 48.01, 48.001, etc.
1.5
Annex A1
lists permissible variations in dimensions and mass (see
Note 1
) in SI [metric] units. The values listed are not exact conversions of the values listed in the inch-pound tables, but instead are rounded or rationalized values. Conformance to
Annex A1
is mandatory when the “M” specification is used.
Note 1:
The term
weight
is used when inch-pound units are the standard. However, under SI the preferred term is
mass
.
1.6
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.
1.7
This specification and the applicable material specifications are expressed in both inch-pound units and SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable “M” specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished to inch-pound units.
1.8
This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
