The heat analysis (formerly ladle analysis) made by the manufacturer to determine the percentages of the elements
required under this specification shall be reported to the purchaser or his representative in a certificate of test when
specified on purchase order or otherwise.
A product analysis (formerly check analysis) may be made by the purchaser from a sample representing each melt. The
chemical composition thus determined shall conform to the requirements of this specification within the AISI
permissible variation for product analysis.

the purpose for which it is intended.
Cut edge - B8A67A, A2, Al 1, A22, B, N, N2, N3, Nl 1, N22, N33, X, X5, Xl 1 and X55 shall be furnished with a slit or sheared
edge.
Oiled -When oiled sheets are ordered, mill standard oiling may be furnished unless otherwise specified.
Special for forming -When B8A67R, R2, Rl 1 or R22 is ordered, the manufacturer shall furnish material suitable for forming
parts shown on a drawing which will be furnished with the order. If orders do not specify the drawing number, they should
be questioned as being incomplete.

CERTIFICATE OF TEST:
When requested, the supplier shall submit promptly to the purchaser at the point of delivery a certificate of test showing
f
the results of tests for chemical analysis required by this specification. This certificate shall be addressed to the
section, unit, or person specified on the purchase order, and shall contain the GE designation, the purchase order
number, and the quantity shipped so that the certificate may be identified with the shipment.

PACKING AND MARKING:

Material shall be properly separated by size for shipment, and carefully packed in accordance with the latest practice of AISI
to avoid damage or loss during shipment. When lift size is not specified on the purchase order, standard AISI lift will be
acceptable.
Each shipment shall be legibly marked with the purchase order number, the weight, the manufacturer’s name, and the GE
designation.
