Minimum Thickness for ASTM A36 Sheet...
(OP)
I have a quick one, although not easy to find the answer documented anywhere. What is the minimum thickness one can order A36 Steel sheet? I am doing a calc and the designer specified 1/8" A36 sheet, but the customer is now saying that A36 does not come in a thickness less than 3/16". Is this true?
Basically, I am looking for some documentation somewhere telling me (so that I can show them) that A36 does come in a 1/8" thickness. Thanks!

As IFR stated, 1/8" thickness falls under the category of sheet/strip, and therefore ASTM A 570 should be referenced instead of ASTM A 36. ASTM A 570 is listed as an Appurtenant Material Specification in Table 1 of Section 4.

As previously noted, plate is generally considered to be material >1/8" in thickness.
