Description of content: This Draft Uganda Standard covers the requirements of carbon steel cast billet ingots, billets, blooms, slabs and for re-rolling into medium and high tensile structural steel including steel for concrete reinforcement. The requirements of this standard shall also be applicable to billets, blooms and slabs produced by continuously cast process. Carbon steel cast billet ingots, billets, bloom and slabs (including continuously cast) may also be supplied in copper-bearing quality. In which case steel shall be designated with a suffix Cu.
