3 General Requirements and supplied to this product SPECIFICATION shallconform to SPECIFICATION A 20/A 20M, which outlines thetesting and retesting methods and procedures, permissiblevariations in dimensions and mass, quality and repair ofdefects, marking, loading, and so A 20/A 20M also establishes the rulesfor ordering information that should be complied with whenpurchasing plates to this addition to the basic requirements of this specifi-cation, certain supplementary requirements are availablewhere additional control, testing, or examination isrequired to meet end use purchaser is referred to the listed supplemen-tary requirements in this SPECIFICATION and to the detailedrequirements in SPECIFICATION A 20/A 20M. 2013 SECTION II, PART ASA-516 are excluded from qualification to this speci-fication until they are processed into finished plates.

4 Platesproduced from coil means plates that have been cut toindividual lengths from coil. The processor directly con-trols, or is responsible for, the operations involved in theprocessing of coils into finished plates. Such operationsinclude decoiling, leveling, cutting to length, testing,inspection, conditioning, heat treatment (if applicable),packaging, marking, loading for shipment, and 1: For plates produced from coil and furnished without heattreatment or with stress relieving only, three test results are reported foreach qualifying coil. Additional requirements regarding plate producedfrom coil are described in SPECIFICATION A 20/A the requirements of this SPECIFICATION are in con-flict with the requirements of SPECIFICATION A 20/A 20M,the requirements of this SPECIFICATION shall Materials and Practice The steel shall be killed andshall conform to the fine austenitic grain size requirementof SPECIFICATION A 20/A Heat in.
