Material Thickness Tolerance
Our waterjet cutting services maintain material thickness tolerances with meticulous precision in strict accordance with BS EN 10051:2010. Leveraging the unique capabilities of our state-of-the-art Waterjet Sweden BevelJet 60, we ensure accurate and consistent cuts across a variety of materials. This precision-driven approach ensures that all projects are executed with the highest level of accuracy, adhering to your specified thickness tolerances, and providing our clients with the most accurate waterjet cut parts.
Material Flatness Tolerance
Quality and precision are paramount at Charles Day Steels, and this is evident in our adherence to the highest standards for material flatness tolerances in waterjet cutting. Our advanced waterjet technology, combined with skilled operation, allows us to achieve exceptional flatness tolerances. This adherence to strict BS EN 10029:1991 guidelines ensures that our waterjet cutting services yield products that meet your exact specifications for flatness and overall quality.
By ensuring that we adhere to all waterjet cutting tolerances set forth by industry-recognised guidelines, we are able to deliver flat waterjet cut components that meet the highest level of accuracy and consistency; guaranteeing that your project is executed to the highest quality.
Waterjet Cutting Tolerances for Lengths and Widths
Rectangular
For rectangular waterjet cut materials, where length L is defined as the greater of the two dimensions, tolerances on length and width are as detailed in Table 1.
Non-rectangular
For non-rectangular waterjet cut materials, due to the challenge of defining length and width for unique shapes, tolerances will follow those in Table 1, with length L considered as the maximum dimension of the part.
Circles and Rings
For waterjet cut circles and rings, length L is considered as the outside diameter of the part, with tolerances as outlined in Table 1.
