ASTM A 568/A 568M REV A Document Information:
Title
Standard Specification for Steel, Sheet, Carbon, Structural, and High-Strength, Low- Alloy, Hot-Rolled and Cold-Rolled, General Requirements for
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Nov 1, 2007
Scope:
This specification covers the general requirements for steel
sheet in coils and cut lengths. It applies to the following
specifications that describe carbon steel, structural steel, and
high-strength, low-alloy steel (HSLA) furnished as hot-rolled sheet
and cold-rolled sheet: Specifications A 414/A 414M, A 424, A 606, A
659/A 659M, A 794, A 1008/A 1008M, A 1011/A 1011M, and A 1039/A
1039M.
This specification is not applicable to hot-rolled
heavy-thickness carbon sheet coils (Specification A 635/A
635M).
In case of any conflict in requirements, the requirements of the
individual material specification shall prevail over those of this
general specification.
For the purposes of determining conformance with this and the
appropriate product specification referenced in 1.1, values shall
be rounded to the nearest unit in the right hand place of figures
used in expressing the limiting values in accordance with the
rounding method of Practice E 29.
Annex A1 lists permissible variations in dimensions and mass
(see Note 1) in SI [metric] units. The values listed are not exact
conversions of the values listed in the inch-pound tables, but
instead are rounded or rationalized values. Conformance to Annex A1
is mandatory when the "M" specification is used.
NOTE 1—The term weight is used when inch-pound units
are the standard. However, under SI the preferred term is
mass.
The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to
be regarded as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in
brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact
equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of
the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in
nonconformance with the specification.
This specification and the applicable material specifications
are expressed in both inch-pound units and SI units. However,
unless the order specifies the applicable "M" specification
designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished to
inch-pound units.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
