A number
2、in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specification2 covers carbon steel shapes, plates, and
3、bars of structural quality for use in riveted, bolted, or weldedconstruction of bridges and buildings, and for general structural purposes.1.2 Supplementary requirements are provided for use where additional testing or additional restrictions are required by thepurchaser. Such requirements apply onl
4、y when specified in the purchase order.1.3 When the steel is to be welded, a welding procedure suitable for the grade of steel and intended use or service is to beutilized. See Appendix X3 of Specification A6/A6M for information on weldability.1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI u
5、nits are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI unitsare shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system is to be usedindependently of the other, without combining values in any way.1.5 The text of this specification conta
6、ins notes or footnotes, or both, that provide explanatory material. Such notes andfootnotes, excluding those in tables and figures, do not contain any mandatory requirements.1.6 For structural products produced from coil and furnished without heat treatment or with stress relieving only, the additio
7、nalrequirements, including additional testing requirements and the reporting of additional test results, of A6/A6M apply.2.
