3、tment 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 shee
4、t: Specifications 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
5、material 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 limit
6、ing 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. Co
7、nformance 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 sta
8、ted 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 unit
9、s and SI units.However, unless the order specifies the applicable “M” speci-fication designation (SI units), the material shall be furnishedto inch-pound units.2.

36、 various manufactur-ers and processors. Historic limitations of a product based upondimensions (thickness, width, and length) do not take intoaccount current production and processing capabilities. Toqualify any product for a particular product specificationrequires all appropriate and necessary tes
37、ts be performed andthat the results meet the limits prescribed in that productspecification. If the necessary tests required by a productspecification cannot be conducted, the product cannot bequalified to that specification. This general requirements speci-fication contains permitted variations for
38、 the commonly avail-able sizes. Permitted variations for other sizes are subject toagreement between the customer and the manufacturer orprocessor, whichever is applicable.3.1.7 retests, nadditional test, or tests, made from theoriginal material when the original test did not meet theappropriate acc

If more than o
44、ne organization con-trols or is responsible for (or both) hot rolling and processingoperations, the organization that controls and is responsible forthe hot rolling is termed the hot roll manufacturer and theorganization or organizations controlling and responsible forthe processing operations is/ar
45、e termed the processor or pro-cessors. Likewise, one organization may be the manufacturerof the hot roll coil and another the manufacturer of the cold rollcoil. In such case, the organization responsible for the conver-sion of the hot roll coil to a cold roll coil and other processingoperations will
46、 also be termed the cold roll manufacturer andorganizations performing additional processing operations tothe cold roll coil will be termed the coil processor or coilprocessors.3.1.11 hot roll manufacturer, nthe organization that di-rectly controls or is responsible for the conversion of steelslabs,
