Surface quality classes for hot-rolled bars and rods—Technical delivery conditions
1 Scope
This standard specifies the terms and definitions, codes, requirements, tests, repairs and
other contents of surface quality for hot-rolled bars and rods.
This standard is applicable to the surface quality classes for hot-rolled bars and rods with nominal dimensions of 5 mm to 150 mm. It may also be used for hot-rolled bars and rods with nominal dimensions of greater than 150 mm after negotiation by the purchaser and the supplier.
This standard is applicable to engineering steel, and may also to structural steel or tool steel after negotiation by the purchaser and the supplier.
This standard does not include any requirements for the permissible depth of surface decarburization.
