ASTM A568 Standard Specification for Steel, Sheet, Carbon, Structural, and High-Strength, Low Alloy, Hot-Rolled and Cold-Rolled

The general specifications for steel sheets in cut lengths and coils are covered by ASTM A568. The aforementioned standards pertain to carbon steel, structural steel, and high-strength, low-alloy steel (HSLA) that are provided in both hot-rolled and cold-rolled forms. Hot-rolled, thick carbon sheet coils are not covered by this specification. The requirements of the individual material specification shall take precedence over the requirements of this general specification in the event of a dispute.
