Remarks: 1. Where the value obtained by the tensile test are guaranteed by the order of purchaser for class 1 sheet or strip normally refined or as it is annealed, its symbol for classification shall be SPCCT, which has a suffix T at the end.
  2. Where the non-aging is guaranteed by the order of purchaser for class 3 sheet or strip normally refined or as it is annealed, its symbol for classification shall be SPCEN, which has a suffix N at the end.

SPCE 270 Min. 36 Min. 38 Min. 40 Min. 41 Min. 42 Min. 43 Min.

     
Remarks: 1. The tensile test value does not usually apply to SPCC. When required by the purchaser, however, the value in parentheses shall be adopted.
  2. For those less that 0.60 mm in thickness, the tensile test shall generally be omitted.
  3. This table applies to those of 30 mm or more in width.
  4. When the non-aging is designated for the normally refined steel sheet and strip of SPCE, it shall be guaranteed for 6 months after delivery from the manufacturing factory. The term "non-aging" means the property to produce stretcher strain during the time of being worked.
