Scope and field of application

This part of ISO 6596 specifies the magnetic characteristics, the track layout, and a track format to be used on a 130 mm (5.25 in) flexible disk cartridge, recorded at 7 958 ftprad on one side using two-frequency recording at a track density of 1,9 tracks per millimetre (tpmm) [48 tracks per inch (tpi)], which is intended for data interchange between data processing systems.

NOTE - Numeric values in the SI and/or Imperial measurement system in this International Standard may have been rounded off and therefore are consistent with, but not exactly equal to, each other. Either system may be used, but the two should be neither intermixed nor re-converted. The original design for this part of ISO 6596 was made using SI units.
