1 SCOPE

This EURONORM applies to unalloyed' mild steel flat
products in commercial quality, bending and profiling
quality, and drawing qualities produced by a continuous
hot-dip zinc coating process. The thickness of the pro-
duct supplied shall be the finished thickness after coating.
This EURONORM applies to sheet, coils (minimum
width 600 mm), slit coils and cut lengths from sheet or slit
coil. It does not apply to general structural steel sheet and
coil (see EURONORM 148 — in preparation). Qualities
for hot-dip zinc coated unalloyed mild steel sheet and coil
for cold forming are given in EURONORM 142.

The requirements of EURONORM 20 apply to this term.

2 GENERAL DEFINITIONS

For the purposes of this EURONORM, the following
definitions apply:
A sheet is a rectangular flat product not less than 600 mm
in width obtained by cutting up a coil or a slit coil.
A coil is a flat product not less than 600 mm in width,
wound in regularly superimposed laps after the final pro-
cessing operation.
A slit coil is a flat product wound in regularly superim-
posed laps, obtained by slitting a coil. The product may be
subdivided into two categories according to whether or
not its width is less than 600 mm.
A cut length is a rectangular flat product less than
600 mm in width, obtained by cutting up a slit coil or a
sheet.
Note: The corresponding terms in French, German,
English, Dutch and Italian are given in Annex A.

The tolerances on thickness shall be the same as for sheet

are doubled over a length to be determined by special
agreement at the time of ordering.
Special tolerances do not apply to Fe Ρ 01 G quality.
5.2 Tolerances on width
If sheets, cut from coil by the customer, are required to
have special flatness characteristics, or if coils are used
directly for a special purpose, an agreement on tolerances
will have to be reached between manufacturer and pur­
chaser.
The agreed flatness tolerances will only be obtained if the
purchaser carries out adequate flattening, while shearing.

The width tolerances shall be the same as those specified 5.4 Tolerances on edge camber

Notes
1. For coils or slit coils, these tolerance values refer to the whole length, except in the region of the weld where the values are doubled {see 5.1 and 6.1).
2. For grade Fc Ρ 01 normal tolerances shall be increased by ± 0.01 mm unless otherwise agreed between the manufacturer and purchaser. Special tolerances do not apply to this
grade.
3. Coil may be supplied without welds by agreement between the manufacturer and purchaser.
4. For coatings of types Ζ 450 and Ζ 600, these tolerance values shall be increased by 0.02 mm.
