3、 the U.S. Department of Defense.1 NOTETable X2.3 was editorially updated in October 2013.1. Scope*1.1 This specification covers the general requirements for steel sheet in coils and cut lengths. It applies to the followingspecifications that describe carbon steel, structural steel, and high-strength
4、, low-alloy steel (HSLA) furnished as hot-rolled sheetand cold-rolled sheet: Specifications A414/A414M, A424, A606, A659/A659M, A794, A1008/A1008M, A1011/A1011M, andA1039/A1039M.1.2 This specification is not applicable to hot-rolled heavy-thickness carbon sheet coils (Specification A635/A635M).1.3 I
5、n case of any conflict in requirements, the requirements of the individual material specification shall prevail over those ofthis general specification.1.4 For the purposes of determining conformance with this and the appropriate product specification referenced in 1.1, valuesshall be rounded to the
6、 nearest unit in the right hand place of figures used in expressing the limiting values in accordance withthe rounding method of Practice E29.1.5 Annex A1 lists permissible variations in dimensions and mass (see Note 1) in SI metric units. The values listed are notexact conversions of the values lis
7、ted in the inch-pound tables, but instead are rounded or rationalized values. Conformance toAnnex A1 is mandatory when the “M” specification is used.NOTE 1The 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 u
8、nits or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.7 This specificati
9、on 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-poundunits.2.

38、and processors. Historic limitations of a product based upon dimensions (thickness, width,and length) do not take into account current production and processing capabilities. To qualify any product for a particular productspecification requires all appropriate and necessary tests be performed and th
39、at the results meet the limits prescribed in that productspecification. If the necessary tests required by a product specification cannot be conducted, the product cannot be qualified to thatspecification. This general requirements specification contains permitted variations for the commonly availab
40、le sizes. Permittedvariations for other sizes are subject to agreement between the customer and the manufacturer or processor, whichever isapplicable.3.1.7 retests, nadditional test, or tests, made from the original material when the original test did not meet the appropriateacceptance criteria requ

If only one organizationcontrols or is responsible for (or both) the hot rolling and processing operations, that organization is termed the manufacturer. Ifm
46、ore than one organization controls or is responsible for (or both) hot rolling and processing operations, the organization thatcontrols and is responsible for the hot rolling is termed the hot roll manufacturer and the organization or organizations controllingand responsible for the processing opera

In such case, the organization responsible forthe conversion of the hot roll coil to a cold roll coil and other processing opera
48、tions will also be termed the cold roll manufacturerand organizations performing additional processing operations to the cold roll coil will be termed the coil processor or coilprocessors.3.1.11 hot roll manufacturer, nthe organization that directly controls or is responsible for the conversion of s
