A
Thickness is measured along the longitudinal edges of the sheet or plate at
least 3⁄8 in. (9.5 mm), but not more than 3.0 in. (76.2 mm) from the edge.
B
All tolerances are over the specified thickness.
C
Maximum decarburization limits are 80 % the allowance per side for machin-
ing.
D
Additional cleanup for deviations from flatness may be added. Consult with
producer.
