Thickness tolerances to EN ISO 9445-1
Cold-rolled strip below 600 mm wide, up to 0.5 mm thick, values in mm. State the tolerance class, normal or precision, in your enquiry.
| Thickness (mm) | Width below 125 | 125 to below 250 | 250 to below 600 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal | Precision | Normal | Precision | Normal | Precision | |
| 0.05 to below 0.10 | ±0.10 t | ±0.04 t | ±0.12 t | ±0.08 t | ±0.15 t | ±0.08 t |

t = thickness. By agreement the tolerance can be split differently (all plus, all minus or uneven), as long as the total range stays the same.
Width tolerances, slit edge
Strip up to 0.5 mm thick, values in mm.

Plus tolerances, minus zero. By agreement they can be split plus and minus, or all minus. The tables summarise EN ISO 9445-1; the standard itself governs.
Strip edges
Strip comes with a slit edge unless you ask for another. For a deburred or rounded edge, give the burr limit or the edge profile in your enquiry and we confirm it for your size.
- Slit edgeDefaultThe edge as cut by the slitter, with a small burr on one side.
- Deburred edgeOn requestBurr removed and the corners slightly broken.
- Rounded edgeOn requestA full radius across the thickness, for strip that is handled by hand or must not cut.

Frequently asked questions
Which thicknesses and widths can you supply?
Foil from 0.05 mm and thin strip up to 0.5 mm. Widths start at a few millimetres; how narrow depends on the thickness. Send us the size and we confirm it in our quotation.
Which grades and finishes are available?
304, 316L and 321, bright annealed (2R) or 2B. Other grades on request.
What is the difference between normal and precision tolerance?
EN ISO 9445-1 gives two tolerance classes for narrow strip. For 0.30 mm strip below 125 mm wide, the thickness tolerance is ±0.020 mm in the normal class and ±0.010 mm in the precision class. State the class you need in your enquiry.
Which certificates come with the strip?
EN 10204 3.1 certificates with the chemical analysis and the mechanical properties of the agreed temper. Inspection certificates 3.2 on request, agreed before we quote. The certificate type and the origin are stated for each lot in our quotation.
