Scope*1.1 Flatness is a significant quality characteristic of steel sheet products. Sheet flatness is affecte
3、d by mill process factors plusthe grade, thickness and width of the material supplied. It is the purpose of this practice to define the different flatnesscharacteristics and to describe the method(s) most commonly used to measure particular characteristics. The methods describedare designed and inte
4、nded to be used in mill situations and environments.1.2 The substratesheet shall conform to all the requirements of the appropriate specifications as follows: SpecificationsA568/A568M or A924/A924M.1.3 Quantitative limits are not addressed and are established in the general requirements, or individu
5、al product specifications,or both; or when applicable, as agreed to between supplier and user.1.4 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in eachsystem may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used ind
6、ependently of the other. Combining values from thetwo systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.1.5 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safet
7、y and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.2.

Significance and Use3.1 The definitions and procedures for measuring flatness characteristics of steel sheet products are provided so that purchasersand suppliers have common definitions and measuring procedures
9、for flatness characteristics. The intention of these definitions andmeasuring methods is not to provide a dimensional specification for flatness characteristics, but rather common procedure(s) forquantifying flatness anomalies. For determining compliance with flatness specifications, references are
10、provided to appropriateASTM standards.4. Interferences4.1 Measurement of flatness often has been subjective, at best. Successful measurement of various flatness anomalies onquantitative terms requires recognition of several factors that can interfere with accurate measurements.4.1.1 Flat surfaces ar
11、e required. Measurement of several anomalies requires laying of the a cut sheet sample, or a coil area, sheetarea still attached to a coil, on a recognized flat surface. In most cases, laying the of a cut sheet sample, or a coil area, sheet areastill attached to a coil, on a floor will produce satis
12、factory results, as long as the floor is recognized as being flat. The flatness ofcoil areas sheet areas still attached to a coil is also measured on the flat tables of coil processing lines, with the strip sheet linetension released. If the measuring surface is not recognized as being flat, a machi
13、ned flat surface is recommended.1 This practice is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A05 on Metallic-Coated Iron and Steel Products and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee A05.07on Methods of Testing.Current edition approved May 1, 2011May 1, 2016.
