3. Terms, Definitions and Symbols
3.1
Plate and sheet
Rolled products with rectangular lateral section, uniform thickness which is no greater than 0.20 mm; generally, their sides are shorn or sawn, and the products are delivered in flat-shape. The thickness is not more than 1/10 of the width.
3.2
Strip
Rolled products with rectangular lateral section, uniform thickness which is no greater than 0.20 mm; generally, their sides are longitudinally cut, and the products are delivered in coils. The thickness is not more than 1/10 of the width.
