Standard Practice for Using Hand Calipers to Measure the Width of Steel Sheet

Importancia y uso:

4.1 This practice provides procedures commonly used for measuring the width of steel sheet products under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committees A01 and A05 and their subcommittees as designated by a purchaser in a purchase order or contract when decimal, not fraction, tolerances are indicated.

4.2 The ability to accurately measure width using hand calipers is critical in determining if product meets decimal specifications. The definitions and procedures for measuring width characteristics of steel sheet products are provided so that purchasers and suppliers have common definitions and measuring procedures for width measurements. The intention of these definitions and measuring methods is not to provide dimensional specifications for width characteristics, but rather common procedure(s) for quantifying width values. For determining compliance with width specifications, references are provided to appropriate ASTM standards.

4.3 This practice may be used by other ASTM Committees and other standards writing bodies for the purpose of measuring the width of metal sheet products when decimal, not fraction, tolerances are indicated.
