16、 the requirementsof Table 1.6.3 Check Analysis:6.3.1 Check analysis is an analysis made by the purchaser orthe manufacturer of the metal after it has been processed intofinished mill forms, and is either for the purpose of verifyingthe composition of a heat or lot, or to determine variations inthe c
17、omposition within a heat or lot.6.3.2 Check analysis tolerances do not broaden the specifiedheat analysis requirements but cover variations between labo-ratories in the measurement of chemical content.6.3.3 Check analysis limits shall be as specified in Table 1.6.3.4 The manufacturer shall not ship
18、material that isoutside the limits specified in Table 1.7. Metallurgical Condition7.1 Plate, sheet and foil shall be furnished in one of thefollowing conditions as designated on the purchase order:Form Metallurgical ConditionPlate hot-rolledhot-rolled, stress-relievedSheet hot-rolledhot-rolled, stre

25、ed, and the pointof contact of the lower surface of the flat product witha flat reference surface.10. Workmanship, Finish, and Appearance10.1 Cracks, seams, slivers, blisters, burrs, and other inju-rious imperfections shall not exceed standards of acceptabilityagreed upon by the manufacturer and the
