A
Limits are in weight percent maximum unless shown as a range or stated otherwise.
B
Analysis shall be made for the elements for which limits are shown in this table.
C
For purposes of determining conformance to these limits, an observed value or a calculated value attained from analysis shall be rounded to the nearest unit in the
last righthand place of figures used in expressing the specified limit, in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E 29.
D
Others includes listed elements for which no specific limit is shown as well as unlisted metallic elements. The producer may analyze samples for trace elements not
specified in the specification. However, such analysis is not required and may not cover all metallic Others elements. Should any analysis by the producer or the purchaser
establish that an Others element exceeds the limit of Each or that the aggregate of several Others elements exceeds the limit of Total, the material shall be considered
nonconforming.
E
Other ElementsTotal shall be the sum of unspecified metallic elements 0.010 % or more, rounded to the second decimal before determining the sum.
F
Vanadium 0.05 max. The total for other elements does not include vanadium.
G
The aluminum content shall be calculated by subtracting from 100.00 % the sum of all metallic elements present in amounts of 0.010 % or more each, rounded to the
second decimal before determining the sum.
H
Composition of cladding alloy as applied during the course of manufacture. Samples from finished sheet or plate shall not be required to conform to these limits.
