FLATNESS TOLERANCES
The flatness tolerances below are an addition to the guarantee in EN 10051:2010.

Deviation is measured when the sheet is resting freely on a flat and smooth surface. Measurements
are performed with a 1 meter straight edge in accordance with measurements praxis in EN 10029:2010.

The maximum deviation from flatness is guaranteed in accordance with the table below,
excluding edge areas of 25 mm width and sheet ends of 100 mm length.

Flatness guarantees only apply for cut to length sheets.

EDGE CAMBER TOLERANCES

The edge camber shall not exceed 0.5% (mill edge) or 0.2% (cut edge) of the actual length of
the sheet/plate for a nominal length l < 5 000 mm.

For sheet/plate with a nominal length l ≥ 5 000 mm and widths w ≥ 600 mm, the edge camber
shall not exceed 20 mm for any length of 5 000 mm in the case of sheet/plate with mill edges
and 15 mm in the case of sheet with trimmed edges.
