Come,recommended that the United States should change to themetric system of measurement through a coordinated national program.This action,along withsubsequent increased metric activity in industry,resulted in a number of requests from produc-ers and users that the B32 Committee develop preferred series of metric sizes for the variousforms of wrought metal mill products.The B32.100 standard is based on the previously published standards B32.3M-1984 and B32.4M-1980.Development of these Standards was started in 1973.The proposal received Standards Com-mittee B32 approval on June 4,1974.It was subsequently approved by the sponsor and submit-ted to the American National Standards Institute for designation as an American NationalStandard.This was granted on July 9,1974.The last edition was approved by the American Na-tional Standards Institute on September 24,1984 and reaffirmed in 1994.The sizes in this Standard are derived from a list of preferred metric sizes in which each num-ber is approximately 60%greater than the number preceding it(ANSI B4.2 or ISO 497 Series R5).Second Choice sizes are in increments of 25%(Series R10)and Third Choice sizes in incrementsof 12%(Series R20).Some deviations from this principle occur as the result of minor rounding.The selected sizes also reflect standard material sizes in ISO and national standards in traditionalmetric countries.In 2002,the B32 Committee established a Task Force to draft new metric standards for the fol-lowing product groups:(a)ASME B32.100-200X Preferred Metric Sizes for Flat,Round,Square,Rectangular,and Hexag-onal Metal Products;(b)ASME B32.200-200X Preferred Metric Sizes for Round,Square,and Rectangular TubularMetal Products Other Than Pipe;and(c)ASME B32.300-200X Preferred Metric Sizes for Equal and Unequal Leg Angles,T-andChannel-Sections,IPN-and Wide Flange-Beams Structural Steel.Material tolerances must be included in order to fully define the size of a product.Internationalor leading national metric standards data were used as the basis for the tolerance data includedin this Standard.References to the sources of these tolerances have been made,and a list of re-lated standards are shown in Nonmandatory Appendix A.Figures are shown throughout theStandard to help speed up the search for the material type needed.The present edition was approved by the American National Standards Institute on February11,2005.ACKNOWLEDGEMENTFigures in this Standard are copied from the book,Metric Standards,for Worldwide Manufac-turing,with the permission of the
