37、 Unless otherwise agreed to by the manufacturer and the purchaser, the thickness of plate to this specification shall bedetermined by measuring along the length of the plate up to a distance of 7 in. 180 mm from the edge.9.2 Diameters, Lengths, or WidthsThe diameters, lengths, or widths of plates sh
38、all be not less than those specified. Thediameters, lengths, or widths of plates may exceed those specified by the amounts shown in Table 4.NOTE 1For the purpose of determining conformance with the dimensional requirements prescribed in this specification, any measured value outsidethe specified lim

Inspection for flatness shall be made by placing the plate on a flat surfaced table with the side marked “Straight Side” up,applying a 72-in. 2-m straightedge when the size permits, or a shorter one equal to the dimensions to be inspected, and measuringthe depth of arc between the s
41、traightedge and the plate.9.4 Plate and Sheet Lot Weight for Pressure VesselsWhen plate or sheet of Copper Alloy UNS Nos.

Plate and sheet of lots of less than five shall be governed solelyby the thickness tolerances of Table 2. For purposes of calculating
43、 weights, the densities used shall be as listed in Table 7.10.
