This specification covers an aluminum alloy in the form of sheet and plate from 0.020 to 6.000 inches (0.51 to 152.40 mm), inclusive, in thickness (see 8.5).
Rationale:
AMS4599B results from a Five-Year Review and update of this specification with changes to prohibit unauthorized exceptions (3.3.1.1, 3.6, 4.4.1, 5.1.1, and 8.4), update applicable documents (Section 2) and plate (3.2.2) temper definition, relocate definitons (2.4) and statement regarding properties (3.3.2), and allow the use of the immediate prior specification revision (8.3).
