ASTM WK39877

(What is a Work Item? / How to Input to a Work Item)

Work Item: ASTM WK39877 - Revision of A6 / A6M - 12 Standard Specification for General Requirements for Rolled Structural Steel Bars, Plates, Shapes, and Sheet Piling


Active Standard: A6 / A6M - 12a

Developed by Subcommittee: A01.02 | Committee A01 Home | Contact Staff Manager



1. Rationale

(S727-12b) In table A2.3, the sections M4 x 3.45 and M4 x 3.2 are erroneously listed with identical US customary dimensions. SI dimensions have different web thicknesses. Investigation of the error appears to indicate there are no producers furnishing these shapes to A6 tolerances. Therefore the subcommittee authorized a ballot to delete these two sections.
