1.1This specification covers high-carbon bearing-quality steel to be used in the manufacture of anti-friction bearings.
1.2Supplementary requirements of an optional nature are provided and when desired shall be so stated in the order.
1.3The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard.
