Tolerance Guidelines
Material tolerances not listed below shall be in accordance with the ASTM, ASME,
or AMS specification to which the material was produced and certified.
(up to 10mm thick)
- Standard plate and sheet length and width tolerance is +/- 1.5mm
- Upon request, special processing for sheared sheet can be done with width and length.
- Precision shearing is also available upon request.
- Diagonal tolerance is 5mm maximum on sheared items.
