(Specification)Standard Specification for Rolled Zinc
Standard Specification for Rolled Zinc
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers two types of commercial rolled zinc as described in 1.2. It should be understood that the specification is general. Any closer limitations on permissible variations shall be a matter of agreement between the supplier (manufacturer) and the purchaser.
1.2 Rolled zinc is furnished in two types as follows:
1.2.1 Type I - Coils or sheets cut from strip (ribbon) rolled zinc and
1.2.2 Type II - Zinc plates such as boiler and hull plates produced by any rolling method.
1.3 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.
1.4 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 become familiar with all hazards including those identified in the appropriate Material Data Sheet for this product/material as provided by the manufacturer, to establish appropriate safety and health practices, and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Designation: B 69 – 98a An American National Standard
Standard Specification for
Rolled Zinc
This standard is issued under the fixed designation B 69; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year of original
adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. A superscript
epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
e NOTE—The caveat in section 1.4 and section 3. Terminology were added editorially in December 2000. The UNS number
for Zinc-Lead Rolled Alloy was corrected editorially in December 2000.
