The purchaser is advised to discuss this change withthe supplier.1.4 In case of any conflict

6、in requirements, the requirementsof the individual material specification shall prevail over thoseof this general specification.1.5 Annex A1 lists permissible variations in dimensions andmass (see Note 2) in SI metric units. The values listed are notexact conversions of the values listed in the inch

7、-pound tables,but instead are rounded or rationalized values. Conformance toAnnex A1 is mandatory when the “M” specification is used.NOTE 2The 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 inch-pound units or

8、SI unitsare to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the SI units areshown in brackets. The values stated in each system are notexact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used inde-pendently of the other. Combining values from the two systemsmay result in nonconformance with this specific

9、ation.1.7 This specification and the applicable material specifica-tions are expressed in both inch-pound units 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.

32、 technologically suited to product analysis due to thenonuniform character of their chemical composition, andtherefore, the tolerances in Table 1 do not apply.

37、gh the sheet in a sufficient number ofplaces so that the samples are representative of the entire sheetor strip. The sampling may be facilitated by folding the sheetboth ways, so that several samples may be taken at one drilling.Steel subjected to certain heating operations by the purchasermay not g

Therefore, users must analyze chipstaken from the steel in the condition in which it is receivedfrom the steel manufacturer.6.3 Specimen PreparationDrillings or chips must betaken without the application of water, oil, or

39、 other lubricant,and must be free of scale, grease, dirt, or other foreignsubstances. They must not be overheated during cutting to theextent of causing decarburization.
