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

    Introduction ASTM A568

    The general standards for coils and cut lengths of steel sheets are described in ASTM A568. These specifications cover structural steel, carbon steel, and hot-rolled and cold-rolled high-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steel. MaTestLab is one of the best testing service providers, with the best network of testing laboratories in the USA to carry out ASTM A568 tests for our clients. It’s crucial to remember that hot-rolled, thick carbon sheet coils are not covered by this specification. Should there be any inconsistencies, the requirements listed in the specific material specification will take precedence over the general specification.

    ASTM A568 Test Method

    Hot rolled sheets manufactureHot-rolled material must be supplied just that—hot—rather than annealed or pickled.
    Cold rolled sheets manufactureCold reduction to thickness is followed by annealing a cold-rolled sheet. 

    ASTM A568 Test Specimens

    Specimen Detailsteel sheets in cut lengths and coils are specimens used for ASTM A568
    Specimen SizeHot rolled sheets should be 0.027 to 0.230 inches in thickness. Cold-rolled sheets should be 0.142 inches in thickness.
