1. Scope

1.1 This specification covers aluminum-coated steel sheet in coils and cut lengths available with two types of aluminum coating applied by the hot-dip process, with several coating weights [masses].

1.2 Product furnished under this specification shall conform to the applicable requirements of the latest issue of Specification A 924/A 924M , unless otherwise provided herein.

1.3 This specification is applicable to orders in either inch-pound units (as A 463) or SI units [as A 463M]. Values in inch-pound and SI units are not necessarily equivalent. Within the text, SI units are shown in brackets. Each system shall be used independently of the other.

1.4 Unless the order specifies the M designation (SI units), the product shall be furnished to inch-pound units.

1.5 The text of this standard references notes and footnotes which provide explanatory material. These notes and footnotes (excluding those in tables and figures) shall not be considered as requirements of the standard.

1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

2. Referenced Documents (purchase separately) The documents listed below are referenced within the subject standard but are not provided as part of the standard.
