International Standards Reference

JIS is the primary reference. The designations listed from the manufacturer’s reference table are starting points for enquiry, not a guarantee of substitution. Before ordering, confirm the applicable standard edition, product form, composition, temper, and test conditions. “–” means not verified here; it does not mean that no equivalent exists.
