AS/NZS 1365:1996

Specifies dimensional tolerances for flat-rolled steels in the form of wide slabs, plate and floorplate rolled on a reversing mill, hot-rolled plate, floorplate, sheet and strip rolled on a continuous mill and cold-rolled sheet and strip. It does not apply to stainless, high alloy and quenched and tempered steels. Two classes of tolerance (A and B) are specified; Class B being the more stringent.

This Standard specifies dimensional tolerances for flat-rolled steels (uncoated, metallic-coated or rganic-coated), other than stainless, high alloy and quenched and tempered steels, as follows:(a) Wide slabs.(b) Plate and floorplate rolled on a reversing mill.(c) Hot-rolled plate, floorplate, sheet and strip rolled on a continuous mill.(d) Cold-rolled sheet and strip.For coated products, thickness tolerances apply to the base metal only.NOTE: Widths and thicknesses given in tables do not necessarily indicate availability in Australia or New Zealand, and enquiries in this regard should be directed to suppliers.
