GOST 103-2006 PDF

Full title and description

GOST 103-2006 — "Прокат сортовой стальной горячекатаный полосовой. Сортамент" / "Hot-rolled steel strip. Dimensions". The standard establishes the assortment and dimensional series for hot-rolled steel strip (strip/flat bar) used for general engineering purposes and specific applications such as strip for nut manufacture.

Abstract

GOST 103-2006 defines the nominal sizes, assortment ranges, and dimensional categories for hot-rolled steel strip (strip-shaped rolled products). It specifies thickness and width limits and the layout of size series used by manufacturers, suppliers and purchasers to ensure interchangeability and consistent product specification across producers in the EASC region.

Scope

The standard applies to hot-rolled steel strip products of general purpose and to steel strip intended for nut blanks. It covers dimensions and assortment ranges — in particular thicknesses commonly from 4 mm up to 80 mm and widths commonly from 10 mm up to 200 mm (inclusive) — and defines how size series are arranged for production and commercial supply. It does not itself specify chemical composition or mechanical property requirements for specific steel grades (those are given in material-specific GOST/TU documents referenced where required).

Key topics and requirements

• Definition of dimensional assortment (series) for hot-rolled steel strip (nominal thickness and width steps).
• Permitted dimensional ranges and standard sizes for production and supply.
• Classification of strip by intended use (general-purpose, strip for nuts, etc.).
• Reference to marking, labelling and packing practices appropriate for rolled strip products (as per related normative documents).
• Normative references to material and production standards for steel grades and surface/quality requirements.

Typical use and users

Used by steel producers and rolling mills to define produced assortments; by metal distributors and traders to specify offered sizes; by engineering and manufacturing companies (mechanical, fastener production, construction, and automotive suppliers) to select appropriate strip sizes; and by procurement and quality departments to verify conformity of delivered hot-rolled strip to the standard assortment. Standards bodies and testing/inspection labs use it as a dimensional reference when checking delivered products.

Related standards

Commonly cross-referenced regional and national standards for rolled products and steel grades, for example other GOSTs and TU documents covering steel grades, tolerances and surface quality (examples encountered in related catalogs include GOST 2590-2006, GOST 2591-2006, GOST 2879-2006, GOST 1050 series and other product-specific GOSTs). Implementers should consult the normative references listed in GOST 103-2006 for exact cross-references.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: GOST 103-2006 is an interstate (EASC) standard that sets the assortment and dimensional series for hot-rolled steel strip (strip/flat bar), giving the standard nominal sizes and ranges used by producers and suppliers.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers dimensional assortment (nominal thickness and width series), typical size limits (commonly 4–80 mm thickness and 10–200 mm width), and classification by intended use (general-purpose strip and strip for certain parts such as nuts). It does not replace material-specific standards for chemical or mechanical properties.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Steelmakers, rolling mills, metal traders and distributors, purchasers and engineers who specify strip sizes, fastener and component manufacturers, and national/regional standards bodies and inspection labs.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: GOST 103-2006 is listed in public standards catalogues as the 2006 edition introduced 1 July 2009 and is treated as the active interstate specification for strip assortment (it replaced earlier versions such as older GOSTs on strip assortment). Users should always check national/regional registries or the EASC catalogue for the most recent status or any amendments.

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: It belongs to the family of GOSTs and interstate standards covering rolled steel products and is used alongside other GOSTs that define steel grades, tolerances, surface quality and testing; consult the normative references listed inside the document for the full set of related standards.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Hot-rolled strip, steel strip, dimensions, assortment, GOST 103-2006, rolled products, flat bar, strip sizes.
