Significance and Use4.1 The definitions and procedures for measuring shapecharacteristics of tin mill products are provided so that pur-chasers and suppliers have common measuring procedures anddefinitions of

10、 shape characteristics. These procedures providedefinitions and measuring techniques of shape characteristics.The intention of these definitions and measuring practices isnot to provide a dimensional specification for shape character-istics, but rather common procedure(s) for quantifying shapeanomal

11、ies.5. Interferences5.1 Measurement of shape often has been subjective, at best.Successful measurement of various shape anomalies on quan-titative terms requires recognition of several factors that caninterfere with accurate measurements.5.1.1 Flat surfaces are required. Measurement of severalanomal

12、ies require laying of the sample on a flat surface. Amachined flat surface is recommended. Laying a sample on afloor may introduce error due to areas on a floor that are notflat.5.1.2 Several anomalies are measured by hanging the sheet.Hanging by holding the sample with a hand can introduce errorfro

13、m pressures exerted by fingers. A mechanical single deviceclamp to help hold these samples is recommended.1This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel,Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of SubcommitteeA01.20 on Tin Mill Products.Current edi

When a sample is placedon a recognized flat table, wavy edges will appear as undula-tions along the edge, having the heigh
