i donot think Z-Through thickness tensile may not be required for thickness of 16mm.

Dear Sir
Z Test is usually performed on Thickness 25mm and above.
 
If Customer is Insisting on Z test then it shall be done as per ASTM 770 with Sample Size of 100 x 100mm. It is also known as through Thickness test.
 
Please clarify with customer the reduction % requirement Z15 / Z25 / Z35.
 
Also in some cases when plates are Vaccum Degassed Condition then Z test is not required.
 
Still if customer insist you can go with the same. Copy of Lab Report is attached for your reference for Z35 Test.
