Terminology3.1 Definitions:3.1.1 base box, na unit of area equivalent to 112 sheets 14by 20 in. or 31 360 in.2(217.78 ft2) (see Annex A1).3.1.2 base weight, na term used to describe the thicknessof tin mill products. The designated base weight multiplied bya factor
9、 of 0.00011 is the nominal decimal thickness, in inchesof the material. Although it is customary industry-wide to usethe term “pound” (for example, 75 lb), following the baseweight designation, base weight is correctly used only to definenominal material thickness, and is not a measure of the weight
10、of a base box.3.1.3 black plate, nlight-gage, low-carbon, cold-reducedsteel intended for use in the untinned state or for the productionof other tin mill products. It is supplied only in a dry or oiledcondition.3.1.4 box annealing, na process involving slow heating ofcoils to a subcritical temperatu
11、re, holding, and cooling there-from, to soften the strip and relieve stresses produced duringcold reduction. It is accomplished in a sealed container. Byintroducing and maintaining an inert or slightly reducingatmosphere during the cycle, a relatively bright surface isobtained.3.1.5 bright finish, n
12、a surface that has a melted tincoating.3.1.6 bundle, na unit containing two or more packages ofa cut size, supported by a platform, generally consisting of tenor more packages.
