3.1.1 Equal-leg angle steel4mm per meter.
3.1.2 Total tortuosity for models above 50.4%of total length.
3.1.3 According to the negotiation of the two parties, equal-leg angle steel with the tortuosity
0.2% of total length could be applied.
3.2
Equal-leg angle steels with obvious twist are not qualified.
4 Weight and tolerances
4.1 Equal-leg angle steels should be delivered by theoretical weight or real weight.
4.2 Weight of equal-leg angle steels should be calculated by density of 7.85g/ cm3 .
4.3 According to negotiation of both parties, weight tolerance of per meter equal-leg angle steel
should within(+3% ,

6.1 Dimension inspection methods

6.1.1 Equal-leg angle side-out-angle and vertex-angle deactivation should by measure by models
and Round stick. And round sticks with diameter of 0.18d cant get thought.
6.1.2 Length of equal-leg angle steel should be measured by straightedge and line tape.
6.2 Inspection spots.
Peak right angle of equal-leg angle steel should be inspected at spots above 750mm.
Notes:
Anshan Iron and Steel Company draft this standard.
From the executed date of this standard, the original YB 166-65 hot rolled equal-leg angle
steel classification issued by Ministry of Metallurgical Industry.
The grade of this standard is marked as GB 9787-88 I.
