Title of Specification Specification for Steel for Structural Shapes for Use in Building Framing

in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system is to be usedindependently of the other, without combining values in any way. 1.13 This specification and the applicable material specifications are expressed in both inch-pound units and SI units. However, unless the order specifies the applicable “M” specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished to inch-pound units. 1.14 The text of this specification contains notes and/or footnotes thatprovide explanatory material. Such notes and footnotes, excluding those tables and figures, do not contain any mandatory requirements. 2. Referenced Documents

1.2 Annex A1 lists permissible variations in dimensions and mass (Note 1) in SI (metric) units. The values listed are not exact conversions of the values in Tables 1 through 31 inclusive but are, instead, rounded or rationalized values....
