1. Scope
This code prescribes the technical conditions of carbon structure steel, including denotation, size, shape, weight and allowable deviation, specifications, testing methods, testing rules, packaging, marks and quality certificates.
The standard is applicable to general structural steel and hot-rolled steel plates, steel strip, formed steel and bar steel for works. The product can be used for weld, binding and bolting member. They are generally used under the supply state.
The chemical compositions stated in this code are applicable to the steel ingot, continuous casting billet, steel billet and its products.
