Remarks
1.Specifications with '*' are only for reference.
2.Generally, tension test as well as elongation are not applied to the steels in Class 1. However, if specified by customer, the values in parentheses can be applied.
3. Tension test and elongation are applied to steel wider than 30mm.
4. In principle, tension test may be omitted for steel thinner than 0.6mm.
5. When the normal refining steels in Class 3 are specified as "non-aging", they will have a six-month "non-aging" guarantee after shipment.
6.Specifications with '*' require prior consultation.
7.The Erichsen values of annealed and normal refining steels in Class 1 to 3 are as follows.

Remarks :
1. In principle, the values of tension test are not applied to Class 1 steels, both in annealed and normal refining states. However, when either one or both of the tension test value and Erichson value is guaranteed by designation, add a "T" at the end of the code like SPCCT. In such cases, values in parentheses will be applied.
2. The values with "*"are only for reference
3. When non-aging is guaranteed by designation, normally refined steel in Class 3 will have an "N" at the end of the specification code.
4. Tension test and elongation rate are applied to steel wider than 30mm.
5. For steels thinner than 0.6mm, the tension test is omitted in principle.
6. When normally refined steels in Class 3 are specified as "non-aging", they will have a six-month guarantee period after shipment.
7. The Erichen values of steels in Class 1 to 3 in annealed and normal refining states are as follows.
