Stainless Steel Finish Specification

I want to know about the overall specification of surface finish of standard like ASTM. So that I can order sst sheet to the finish I want. Always heard about finish like #2B, #4, #4B, BA etc but not sure if they are some standard or not. Need a overall listing.

Thanks,

There is a free publication put out by Specialty Steel Industry of North America or Nickel Development Institute on stainless steel sheet finishes. There are pictures and explanations for the finishes you seek.

Good luck.
