Basically there are three different standards that create confusion; IS: 2062 & IS: 1079. IS:2062 is for weldable structural steel & IS:1079 is for Hot rolled carbon steel sheet & strip.
IS:2062 covers- Plate, Sheets & Strips, whereas IS:1079 cover only Sheets & strips.
For dimensions both refer to IS:1730. It says thickness range for plates: 5 to 63 mm, Sheet: 0.4 to 4.65 mm & Strip: 1.6 to 10 mm.
Hope it clarifies the doubt.

Steel sheets are generally thicker and larger in size compared to steel strips. Steel sheets are typically over 3mm thick and can be several meters long and wide, while steel strips are thinner and narrower, usually less than 3mm thick and narrower than sheets.
The main difference between strip and plate is their thickness. A strip is thinner and has a uniform width, while a plate is thicker and has a more standardized length and width. Strip is typically used for smaller applications, while plate is used for larger, structural purposes.
Coil refers to a continuous length of material wound in a spiral shape, like a spring. Strip is a flat and thin piece of material with a consistent width and thickness. Essentially, coil is a rolled or wound form of material, while strip is a flat sheet cut to a specific width.
Commonly, brass and steel are used in a bimetallic strip. This combination allows the strip to bend or warp when subjected to temperature changes due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of the two metals.
A bimetallic strip is typically made of two different metals fused together, such as brass and steel or copper and iron. These metals have different coefficients of thermal expansion, causing the strip to bend when exposed to temperature changes.
The two metals commonly used in a bimetallic strip are steel and copper. These metals have different coefficients of thermal expansion, causing the strip to bend when heated or cooled due to the uneven expansion and contraction of the metals.
