This standard specifies the through-thickness characteristic grades, test methods and inspection rules of steel plates. The through-thickness characteristic grade is a measurement for the lamellar-tearing resistance of steel plates, and the through-thickness characteristics may be assessed according to the reduction of area in through-thickness tensile test.
This standard is applicable to killed steel plates with a thickness of 15~400 mm.
