General Aluminum Standards define base alloy systems, dimensions, and general mill product tolerances used across industries. These standards provide specifications for aluminum mill products, sheet, plate, tubes, bars, rods, wires and pipes. They define designation systems and nomenclature and are a comprehensive guide for producers and users of aluminum.
