Notes:

1. Minimum thickness is based on thickness tolerances of hot-dip galvanised sheets in cut length and coils (per
ASTM standard A525-80). Tolerance is valid for 1220 and 1520-mm wide sheets.

2. Galvanised sheet gauge is used for convenience. A metric series would conform to ANSI Standard B32.3,
and the tolerances in ASTM Standard A5225M apply.

Notes:
1. Minimum thickness is based on thickness tolerances of hot-rolled and cold-rolled sheets in cut length and
coils (per ASTM Standards A366, A568, and A569).

2. Table is based on 1220-mm width coil and sheet stock. 1520-mm coil has same tolerance, except that 16
gauge is +/- 0.18-mm in hot-rolled coils and sheets

3. Manufacturer's standard gauge is used for convenience. A metric series would conform to ANSI Standard
B32.3, and the tolerances in ASTM Standard A568M apply
