If the tolerances shown in the table are rigidlyapplied to s

41、uch irregularities that are inherent to the product, unjustifiedrejections of wire that would actually be satisfactory for use could occur.It is intended that these tolerances be used in gaging the wires where thereis a minimum of such diameter irregularities due to hot dip coating.Specified Diamete
