Pertains to changes to Section 5.2.2.1.4 and Table 5-1, which reflect modifications to the text to accurately depict the material under consideration in Table 5-1. This is accomplished in part by substituting the word "Steel" for "Metal". The modifications to Table 5-1, by changing one category to "Nominal Stud Size" and deleting "Gauge of Stud," are necessary as a matter of coordination and consistency with steel industry standard terminology and dimensional designations as well as coordination with the national model building codes and standards. The changes to the note below Table 5-1 remove the inconsistency that was present between the note and the category "Gauge of Stud" and insert in its place language that is consistent with current industry standards and terminology.This standard was listed for public review in the 8/15/1997 issue of Standards Action. It is being resubmitted due to substantive changes to the text.
