3、t of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers the general requirements forsteel sheet in coils and cut lengths. It applies to the followingspecifications that describe carbon steel, structural steel, andhigh-strength, low-alloy steel (HSLA) furnished as hot-rolledsheet and cold-rolled sheet: S
4、pecifications A414/A414M,A424, A606, A659/A659M, A794, 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 requirementsof the individual mate
5、rial specification shall prevail over thoseof this general specification.1.4 For the purposes of determining conformance with thisand the appropriate product specification referenced in 1.1,values shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the right handplace of figures used in expressing the limiting
6、values inaccordance with the rounding method of Practice E29.1.5 AnnexA1 lists permissible variations in dimensions andmass (see Note 1) in SI metric units. The values listed are notexact conversions of the values listed in the inch-pound tables,but instead are rounded or rationalized values. Confor
7、mance toAnnex A1 is mandatory when the “M” specification is used.NOTE 1The term weight is used when inch-pound units are thestandard. However, under SI the preferred term is mass.1.6 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated
8、ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in non-conformancewith the standard.1.7 This specification and the applicable material specifica-tions are expressed in both inch-pound units an
9、d SI units.However, unless the order specifies the applicable “M” speci-fication designation (SI units), the material shall be furnishedto inch-pound units.2.
