GB/T 11251-2025 Alloy structural steel plate, sheet and strip
1 Scope
This document specifies the ordering information, manufacturing processes, technical requirements, test methods, inspection rules, as well as packaging, marking, and quality certificate for alloy structural steel plates, sheets and strips.
This document is applicable to single hot-rolled steel plates and sheets (hereinafter referred to as single-rolled plates and sheets) with a nominal thickness of 3.0mm to 250mm; and continuously hot-rolled plates, sheets and strips with a nominal thickness of not greater than 25.4mm, including continuously hot-rolled wide strips, sheared plates and sheets and slit wide strips with a nominal width of not less than 600mm, and continuously hot-rolled narrow strips and sheared plates and sheets with a nominal width of less than 600mm (hereinafter referred to as steel plates, sheets and strips).
Note: Single-rolled plates and sheets, as well as steel plates, sheets and strips are collectively referred to as steel products in this document.
