Grain size
Required by the standard, conditionally
| Form and thickness | ASTM micrograin size | Mean grain diameter |
|---|---|---|
| Sheet & strip ≤3.175 mm | No. 3.0 or finer | 0.127 mm |
| Sheet & strip >3.175 mm | No. 1.5 or finer | 0.214 mm |
Mandatory, with no "when specified by the purchaser" qualifier; but it covers sheet and strip only — plate is not subject to it.

The direction is "or finer", the opposite of the "No. 5 or coarser" of 800H and 800HT.
⚠ The 100 HRB max hardness is INFORMATIVE only — grain size binds, hardness does not.
