Materials Section

Sheet: A rolled rectangular section of thickness 0.006 through 0.249 inch, with sheared, slit, or shaved edges.
Plate: A rolled rectangular section of thickness 0.250 inch or more, with either sheared or shaved edges.
Bar: A bar is best described as having a square, rectangular (excluding flattened wire), regular hexagon, or octagon cross sectional area whose greatest distance between parallel faces is 3/8 or greater.
Rod: A solid round section 3/8 inch or greater in diameter, whose length is long in relation to its diameter.
Shape: A wrought product that is long in relation to its cross-sectional dimensions, and has a cross-section other than that of sheet, plate, wire, rod, bar, tube or structural shape. The thickness of any element of a shape shall be deemed to be the smallest dimension of that element.
Structural: An extruded shape in certain standard alloys, tempers, shape sizes, and sections, such as angles, channels, Tees, Zees, I-Beams, and H-Sections, commonly used for structural purposes.
Tube: A hollow wrought product that is long in relation to its cross-section, which is symmetrical and is round, square rectangular, hexagonal, octagonal, or elliptical with sharp or rounded corners, and has a uniform wall thickness.
Wire: A solid wrought product that is long in relation to its symmetrical cross-section which is square or rectangular (excluding flattened wire), with sharp or rounded corners or edges, or is round, hexagonal, or octagonal. This product has a diameter, width, or greatest distance between parallel faces of less than 3/8 of an inch.
