Standard Specification for Aluminum and Aluminum-Alloy ...

1 Designation: B209M 14 Standard Specification forAluminum and Aluminum -Alloy Sheet and Plate (Metric)1 This Standard is issued under the fixed designation B209M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon ( ) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or Standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Scope* This specification covers Aluminum and Aluminum alloyflat sheet, coiled sheet, and plate in the alloys (Note 1) andtempers shown in Tables 2 and 4, and in the following Plate in all alloys and sheet in heat-treatable alloys:mill Sheet in nonheat-treatable alloys: mill finish, one-sidebright mill finish, Standard one-side bright finish, and standardtwo-sides bright Alloy and temper designations are in accordance withANSI (M).

9 5. Responsibility for Quality for Inspection and Tests Unless other-wise specified in the contract or purchase order, the producer isresponsible for the performance of all inspection and testrequirements specified herein. The producer may use their ownor any other suitable facilities for the performance of theinspection and test requirements specified herein, unless dis-approved by the purchaser in the order or at the time of contractsigning. The purchaser shall have the right to perform any ofthe inspections and tests set forth in this specification wheresuch inspections are deemed necessary to assure that materialconforms to prescribed Definition An inspection lot shall be defined For heat-treated tempers, an inspection lot shall con-sist of an identifiable quantity of material of the same mill3 The last approved version of this historical Standard is referenced from American National Standards Institute (ANSI), 25 W.
