ASTM F1053/F1053M-94

Standard Guide for Steel Hull Construction Tolerances [Metric] (Withdrawn 2003)

SCOPE
1.1 This guide outlines permissible deviations and distortions in new construction of steel hulls, in accordance with good fit criteria and strength requirements.  
1.2 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.  
1.3 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.
