Specifies the preferred sizes, or dimensions, of wrought metal products manufactured from steel (hot-rolled and bright), copper, copper alloys, aluminium and aluminium alloys.

This Standard specifies preferred sizes, or dimensions, of wrought metal products manufactured from steel (hot-rolled and brightsee Note 1), copper, copper alloys, aluminium and aluminium alloys.It applies to round, square, hexagonal, and rectangular metal products conventionally known as rod, wire and bar, and to flat metal products conventionally known as plate, sheet, and strip. NOTES: 1 For the purposes of this Standard, bright steel is intended to cover cold-drawn, cold-sized, and cold-finished steel, produced by means other than wire manufacture. 2 Information on preferred sizes and their application in practice is given in Appendix A.
