ASTM Standard, Stainless Steel angle that has been rejected because it is not ?square

[Phil Fields]

Hello. I have a piece of 3?X3? Stainless Steel angle that has been rejected because it is not ?square?.
This piece of material does not have any markings to indicate what standard it was produced to. I have purchased two Standards (A276-13 and A582-A582M-12). These ASTM standards do not define dimensional requirements, they only define chemical/mechanical test requirements.
Are there any suggestions as to the correct standard to use that defines the form/dimensional requirement for Stainless Steel angle (3?x3?)?
Thank you,
Phil

Depending on what type of Stainless:

316: AMS-QQ-763
430: AMS 5749
15-5: AMS 5659
17-4: AMS 5643
303: ASTM A582
304: AMS 5647

Note, these are only a partial list (sometimes the same material type has multiple specifications). I would recommend asking the person/people who are rejecting the material what spec they are basing the rejection on. This will clear up the issue without guessing.

Michael,
Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately our welder tells me that this part is not square and will not fit up correctly. Our drawing does not specify a standard, it only defines Stainless Steel 3x3. I will review the standards you have suggested and educate those involved.
Thank you,
Phil
