This International Standard specifies requirements for tolerances for hot-rolled steel plates made on a reversing mill (excluding stainless steels) with the following characteristics: a) nominal thickness W 4 mm but u 400 mm; b) nominal width W 600 mm; c) specified minimum yield strength u 700 N/mm2. Tolerances for products of width 600 mm, cut or slit from plate, should be agreed between manufacturer and purchaser at the time of inquiry and order. Tolerances on dimensions and shape of steel plates having a specified minimum yield stress greater than 700 N/mm2 should be the subject of agreement at the time of inquiry and order. This International Standard does not include continuous mill products, custom-made plate, checker plate or bulb plate for flooring or wide flats. It does not apply to continuous hot-rolled steel plates as defined in specific International Standards (see ISO 4995, ISO 4996, ISO 5951, ISO 5952).
