Steel Plate Flatness Tolerance
At Charles Day, we take quality and precision seriously, which is why we adhere to the strict guidelines set forth by BS EN 10029:1991 for steel plate flatness tolerances. As a customer-focused organisation, we understand the critical importance of flatness in the final product, and our expert laser cutting technology combined with skilled craftsmanship ensures that we achieve flatness tolerances in line with the specified standards.
By following BS EN 10029:1991, we guarantee that our laser cutting services produce flat components that meet the highest level of accuracy and consistency; ensuring that your projects will be executed with the utmost precision and quality, meeting your exact requirements and expectations.
Steel Plate Flatness Tolerance
Rectangular
For rectangular laser cut steel plates, where length L, is defined as the greater of the two dimensions, tolerances on length and width shall be as given in Table 1.
Non-rectangular
For non-rectangular laser cut steel plates, because of the difficulty in defining length and width for non-standard shapes, tolerances will be as given in Table 1, where length L shall be assumed to be the maximum dimension of the part in question.
Circles and Rings
For laser cut steel circles and rings, length L will be understood to be the outside diameter of the part in question and tolerances will be as given in Table 1.
