Note: Test specimens are to be taken longitudinally from a major flat portion of the section. Test
frequency is as per AS/NZS 1163:2016. The yield, tensile and elongation will be determined in
accordance with AS 1391, with samples artificially aged to a temperature of 180 degrees for a
period of not less than 15 minutes.
Impact Testing
Impact testing as described in Section 10 of AS/NZS 1163:2016 is performed at
O°C in accordance with AS 1544.2 on all profiles (flats, angles and channels) with a
nominal thickness of 6 mm or greater.
Coating Thickness
All profiles are electroplated to a thickness of 50 grams per square metre per side
(Z1OO). The profiles are then coated with a solvent based Clearcote to a thickness
averaging between 14 and 20 microns.
Surface Finish
Product shall be free from lamination, surface flaws and other defects detrimental to
its use for structural purposes.
Length
Angles and Channels are available in 6 and 9 metre lengths. Flats are available in 6
metre lengths. Non-standard lengths by inquiry.
End Condition
Profiles are supplied with mill cut ends. End coding is applied in accordance with
AS/NZS 4496:1997.

Straightness
Profiles will be supplied to a
straightness of Imm in 500mm
measured as follows:-
The straightness will be calculated by measuring the horizontal deviation (a) over
the ordered profile length (L), i.e. (a) L/500.
Corner Radius
Corner radius is 2 times gauge plus or minus 0.5mm
Squareness
The maximum out of squareness of a profile will be plus or minus 1.5 degrees.
Twist
The maximum angle of twist of a profile (a) will be
1 degree in 1 metre.
Flatness of Sides
The flatness of any side (a) will be limited to less
than 0.8% of the width of that side or 0.5mm, whichever is the greater.
