5 Dimensions
5.1 Nominal dimension range

6.1.1.2 As required by the demand party, and indicating the tolerance class in
the contract, it may supply plates with other tolerance classes and with
tolerance values equal to the tolerance values specified in Table 2, such as
Class A, Class B and Class C tolerances. It may also supply plates of which the
upper tolerance is limited and the tolerance values are equal to the tolerance
values specified in Table 2. The upper and lower tolerances are agreed upon
between the supply and demand parties.
6.1.1.3 For steel plates/sheets with a thickness greater than 200 mm, the
thickness tolerance may also be agreed upon between the supply and demand
parties and specified in the contract.
6.1.1.4 Agreed upon between the supply and demand parties, it may also
supply in accordance with the tolerances given in Annex A.
6.1.2 Thickness tolerance of steel strips (including plates/sheets cut from
strips)
6.1.2.1 The thickness tolerance of steel strips (including plates/sheets cut from
strips), of which the specified minimum yield strength Re is less than 360 MPa,
shall comply with the requirements of Table 3. If the demand party requires
supply according to the higher precision of thickness (PT.B), it shall be indicated
in the contract. If not indicated, supply according to the general precision of
thickness (PT.A). According to the requirements of the demand party, the upper
and lower deviations of steel strips may be adjusted within the tolerances
specified in Table 3.
6.1.2.2 The thickness tolerance of steel strips (including plates/sheets cut from
strips), of which the specified minimum yield strength Re is not less than 360
MPa, shall comply with the requirements of Table 4. If the demand party
requires supply according to the higher precision of thickness (PT.B), it shall be
indicated in the contract. If not indicated, supply according to the general
precision of thickness (PT.A). According to the requirements of the demand
party, the upper and lower deviations of steel strips may be adjusted within the
tolerances specified in Table 4.
6.1.2.3 When the yield strength is not specified in the product standard and the
thickness tolerance is not specified, the thickness tolerance of steel strips
(including plates/sheets cut from strips) shall be agreed upon between the
supply and demand parties and indicated in the contract.
7.1.1.1.2 The flatness shall be determined by measuring the maximum distance
between the upper surface of the plate and the ruler. If the wave spacing (the
distance between the two contact points of the ruler and the plate) is not more
than 1000 mm, use a 1000 mm long ruler. For longer wave spacing, use a 2000
mm long ruler. For flatness with a height of no more than 2 mm, it shall not be
regarded as a wave.
7.1.1.2 Technical requirements
7.1.1.2.1 The flatness of plates shall comply with the requirements of Table 10.
If the demand party requires supply according to the higher precision of flatness
(PF.B), it shall be indicated in the contract. If not indicated, supply according to
the general precision of flatness (PF.A).
7.1.1.2.2 When the wave spacing (the distance between the two contact points
of the ruler and the plate) is between 300 mm and 1000 mm, the maximum
flatness of the plate shall also comply with the following requirements:
a) General precision of flatness (PF.A): the maximum flatness of steel type L
is 1.0 % of the wave spacing, and the maximum flatness of steel type H
is 1.5 % of the wave spacing, both of which shall not exceed those
specified in Table 10;
b) Higher precision of flatness (PF.B): the maximum flatness of steel type L
is 0.5 % of the wave spacing, and the maximum flatness of steel type H
is 1.0 % of the wave spacing, both of which shall not exceed those
specified in Table 10.

8 Measurement of dimensions and shape
8.1 Length that is not assessed
When inspecting the thickness and width of mill-edge steel strips without cutting
the head and tail, the total length L of the two ends that is not assessed is
90/nominal thickness (L is in mm, the nominal thickness is in mm) and shall be
no more than 20 m.
8.2 Thickness
For cut-edge steel strips (including plates/sheets cut from strips), it is measured
at a distance of not less than 25 mm from the longitudinal side. For mill-edge
steel strips (including plates/sheets cut from strips), it is measured at a distance
of not less than 40 mm from the longitudinal side. For cut-edge plates, it is
measured at a distance of not less than 25 mm from the edge (longitudinal and
transverse sides). The measurement site of mill-edge plates is agreed upon
between the supply and demand parties.
8.3 Width
The width shall be measured at where perpendicular to the centerline of steel
plates/sheets or strips.
8.4 Length
The length of the largest rectangle in steel plates/sheets.
8.5 Flatness
8.5.1 Place the steel plate/sheet freely on a flat surface without applying any
pressure other than the weight of the steel plate/sheet itself.
8.5.2 Use a ruler with a length of 1000 mm or 2000 mm, in any direction within
a region of at least 25 mm from the longitudinal side and at least 200 mm or
100 mm from the lateral side of the plate, measure the maximum distance
between the upper surface of the plate and the ruler, see Figure 1.

9.2 When steel plates/sheets are delivered according to theoretical weight, the
theoretical weight is calculated using nominal dimensions and the carbon steel
density of 7.85 kg/dm3. Other steel grades are weighted according to the
corresponding standards.
9.3 When the thickness tolerance of steel plates/sheets is limited to negative or
positive tolerance, the thickness used for the theoretical weight is the average
value of the maximum thickness and the minimum thickness allowed.
9.4 The theoretical weight of steel plates/sheets is calculated according to the
calculation method specified in Table 14.
