Overview

This classification covers hot-rolled universal mill plate of iron or non-alloy steel. These are flat-rolled products with a width of 600 mm or more, distinguished by their thickness, which must exceed 10 mm. Universal mill plate is characterized by its shape and is not further worked than hot-rolled, nor is it clad, plated, or coated. It is typically used in structural applications and heavy fabrication due to its substantial thickness and strength.

The primary distinguishing feature of this category is its specific thickness threshold. While its sibling category, "Other," at the same level, also covers hot-rolled universal mill plate not in coils and not further worked, it would encompass plates with a thickness of 10 mm or less. This detailed sub-division ensures precise classification based on the physical dimensions of the steel product.

Therefore, classification within this code is determined solely by the criteria of being hot-rolled universal mill plate, exceeding 10 mm in thickness, and not being in coils or further processed. Examples of products fitting this description include thick steel plates intended for shipbuilding, bridge construction, or heavy machinery manufacturing.
