1.1 This specification covers single-reduced electrolytic tin plate produced from low-carbon cold-reduced steel furnished in coils and cut sizes for use in the manufacture of cans, closures, crowns, and other products. It is furnished in commercially available tin coating weights [masses], and is normally supplied with a trimmed edge.

1.2 This specification is applicable to orders in either inch-pound units (as A 624) which is supplied in nominal thicknesses from 0.0061 to 0.0149 in. or SI units [as A 624M] which is supplied in nominal thicknesses from 0.155 to 0.378 mm.

1.3 The values stated in either inch-pound or SI units are to be regarded as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents. Therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with this specification.

1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
