The coating designation number is the term by which this product is specified.
Because of the many variables and changing conditions that are characteristic of
continuous hot-dip coating lines, the weight [mass] of the coating is not always
evenly divided between the two surfaces of a sheet, nor is the coating evenly
distributed from edge to edge. However, it can normally be expected that not less
than 40 % of the single-spot test limit will be found on either surface.

8.1.2 Use the following relationships to estimate the coating
thickness from the coating weight [mass]:

thickness, and
8.1.2.2 3.75 g/m2 coating mass = 1.00 m coating thickness
8.1.3 Use the following relationship to convert coating
weight to coating mass:
8.1.3.1 1.00 oz/ft2 coating weight = 305 g/m2 coating mass

The typical mechanical property values presented in this table are nonmandatory. They are intended solely to provide the purchaser with as much information
as possible to make an informed decision on the steel to be specified. Values
outside of these ranges are to be expected. The purchaser may negotiate with the
supplier if a specific or restricted range is required for the application.
B
These typical mechanical properties apply to the full range of steel sheet
thicknesses. The yield strength tends to increase and some of the formability
values tend to decrease as the sheet thickness decreases.

flexibility to restrict the steels applied on any order. For
example, a user can restrict the application of ultra low carbon

X2.5 The changes in designation are significant which may
create transition issues that will have to be resolved. Continued
