Review of Standards. To keep abreast of progress in industry, Joint Australian/

New Zealand Standards are subject to periodic review and are kept up to date by the
issue of amendments or new editions as necessary. It is important therefore that
Standards users ensure that they are in possession of the latest edition, and any
amendments thereto.
Full details of all Joint Standards and related publications will be found in the Standards
Australia and Standards New Zealand Catalogue of Publications; this information is
supplemented each month by the magazines ‘The Australian Standard’ and ‘Standards
New Zealand’, which subscribing members receive, and which give details of new
publications, new editions and amendments, and of withdrawn Standards.
Suggestions for improvements to Joint Standards, addressed to the head office of either
Standards Australia or Standards New Zealand, are welcomed. Notification of any
inaccuracy or ambiguity found in a Joint Australian/New Zealand Standard should be
made without delay in order that the matter may be investigated and appropriate action
taken.

This Standard was issued in draft form for comment as DR 94446.

Originated in Australia as AS 1365—1973.

Previous edition AS 1365— 1986.
Jointly revised and designated AS/NZS 1365:1996.

PREFACE

This Standard was prepared by the Joint Standards Australia / Standards New Zealand
Committee MT/1, Iron and Steel, to supersede AS 1365 —1986.
The objective of this Standard is to specify dimensional tolerances for flat-rolled steel
products excluding stainless and heat-treated steels. The 1986 edition was amended in
September 1992 to alter the width tolerances of untrimmed plate and floorplate.
This Standard gives an option of two classes of tolerance (A and B) for plate and strip
rolled on a continuous mill, and for cold-rolled sheet and strip. These classes apply to
flatness on hot-rolled product and to thickness, flatness, width and length on cold-rolled
sheet and strip. The tighter Class B tolerances should only be specified in cases where the
product requires stringent tolerance control.
In the preparation of this Standard cognizance was taken of the following International
Standards:
ISO
3573:1986 Hot-rolled carbon steel sheet of commercial and drawing qualities

3574:1986 Cold-reduced carbon steel sheet of commercial and drawing qualities

4960:1986 Cold-reduced carbon steel strip with a carbon content over 0.25%
4995:1993 Hot-rolled steel sheet of structural quality
4996:1991 Hot-rolled steel sheet of high yield stress structural quality
4997:1991 Cold-reduced steel sheet of structural quality
5001:1993 Cold-reduced carbon steel sheet for vitreous enamelling
5951:1993 Hot-rolled steel sheet of higher yield strength with improved formability
6316:1993 Hot-rolled steel strip of structural quality
6317:1982 Hot-rolled carbon steel strip of commercial and drawing qualities
6932:1986 Cold-reduced carbon steel strip with a maximum carbon content of 0.25%
7452:1984 Hot-rolled structural steel plates —Tolerances on dimensions and shape
9034:1987 Hot-rolled structural steel wide flats — Tolerances on dimensions and shape

All of these International Standards, except ISO 7452 and ISO 9034, specify general
properties in addition to dimensional tolerances, for various types of flat-rolled steel
products. The Standards ISO 7452 and ISO 9034 specifically cover dimensional tolerances
for hot-rolled structural steel plates and wide flats but are not applicable to thicknesses
below 3 mm and 4 mm respectively.
Australian/New Zealand industry considers that there are considerable advantages in
having requirements for dimensional tolerances for all types of flat-rolled steel products in
the one Standard.
In this edition steepness ratio is included as an alternative method for expressing flatness
and a method for measuring out-of-squareness is specified.
The terms ‘normative’ and ‘informative’ have been used in this Standard to define the
application of the appendix to which they apply. A ‘normative’ appendix is an integral
part of a Standard, whereas an ‘informative’ appendix is only for information and
guidance.
