STANLESS STEEL SHEET
flat-rolled plate
products produced by continuous mill rolling, available
in coils or cut lengths. Thicknesses range from .018" to.
1874" and widths range from 24" to 48". For thicknesses
lighter than .018" refer to the mill.

Size Tolerances
Roller Leveled - Not resquared

Thickness Inch	Nominal Length Inches	Length Tolerance Inch	Nominal Width Inches	Width Tolerance Inch
Under .131	120 and under		48 and under
Under .131	Over 120		48 and under

Camber Tolerances

Width Inches	Maximum Camber in 8 Feet* Inch
24 to 36 Inclusive	1/8
Over 36 to 48 inclusive	3/32

* A special camber tolerance of 1/16 inch in 20 feet is upon individual inquiry request.

Camber is the greatest devation of a side edge from a straight line, the measurement being taken on the concave side by placement against an 8-foot straight edge.

Flatness Tolerances Roller Leveled - Annealed Temper

Thickness Inch	Width Inches	Flatness Tolerance* (Maximum deviation from horizontal flat surface) Inch
.018 -.1874	24 to 48 incl.	1/2

* Suitable for levelling to 1/4 inch max. on cut line equipment.

Stretcher Leveled - Annealed Temper

Thickness Inch	Width Inches	Length Inches	Flatness Tolerance (Maximum deviation from horizontal flat surface) Inch
Under 3/16	To 48	To 96	1/8
Under 3/16	To 48	Over 96	1/4

Referenced data are typical and should not be construed as maximum or minimum values for specification or for final design. Data on any particular piece of material vary from those shown above.

Standard Finishes
The chromium-nickel and straight chromium grade of stainless steel sheets can be surface treated to provide a variety of finishes. These methods include picking, grinding, and rolling.

#1 - Hot rolled, annealed and pickled
#2B - Cold rolled on polished rolls, annealed, pickled, and skin passed on polished rolls
#2D - Cold rolled, annealed, pickled, and skin passed with dull blasted rolls or may be ordered without the dull skin pass for formability or surface considerations.
#3 - Polish
#4 - Polish

Coatings
Adhesive vinyl coverings are available with a range of adhesive strengths for various applications.

Stainless Steel Strip
products available in coils or cut lengths. Thicknesses range from .0015" to .1874" and widths range from .1875" to 23.999"

Referenced data are typical and should not be construed as maximum or minimum values for specification or for final design. Data on any particular piece of material vary from those shown above.

stainless strip is available within
equipment limitaions with any of these edges -
   NO.1 - Round or square produced by machining.
   NO.3 - Produced by slitting.
   NO.5 - Produced by shaving after slitting.

Each strip product is made to your specification. With proper prints, parts and description of environmental condition, the most suitable strip supplied to your specification can best be achieved.

Precision Rolled Strip™ products are tailor-made for specific end uses in the lighter strip thicknesses. These products are typically produced to very tight dimensional, surface, and metallurgical property tolerances.

Camber
Up to and including 1-1/2" wide…1/2" maximum in any 8-foot length. Over 1-1/2" to 23.999" wide…1/4" maximum in any 8-foot length. Camber to be deter- mined by placing an 8-foot straight edge against the concave edge of the strip.

Size Tolerances
Thickness
Series 200, 300 and 400 grades are measured 3/8" in from edge on 1" or wider and on narrower than 1" at any place on the strip.
