ASTM A625/A625M-03

Standard Specification for Tin Mill Products, Black Plate, Single Reduced

ABSTRACT
This specification covers single-reduced black plate produced from low carbon, cold-reduced steel, furnished in coils and cut sizes, for use in the manufacture of containers, closures, signs, toys and other products, as well as for plating applications. The black plates shall be produced with ground roll and shot-blasted roll finishes and shall be furnished oiled or dry.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers single-reduced black plate produced from low carbon, cold-reduced steel, furnished in coils and cut sizes, for use in the manufacture of containers, closures, signs, toys and other products, as well as for plating applications.
1.2 It may be supplied dry or oiled and with or without surface treatment. This product is normally supplied with a trimmed edge.
1.3 This specification is applicable to orders in either inch-pound units (as A 625), which is supplied in thicknesses from 128-lb base weight (0.0141 in.) and lighter, or SI units (as A 625M), which is supplied in thicknesses from 0.358 mm and lighter.
1.4 The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this specification.
