British Standard Sheet Metal Thickness

Tolerances are given up to 6 5mm thick rather than finishing below 3 0mm.

British standard sheet metal thickness.

To reflect manufacturing difficulty the tolerances for alloys 5251 5083 6082 are now wider than this although still a little tighter than in bs1470. Because of the varying thicknesses a gauge chart should be used to ensure the metal meets the required dimensions. Continuously hot rolled strip and plate sheet cut from wide strip of non alloy and alloy steels. Manufacturers standard gauge for sheet steel is based on an average density of 41 82 lb per square foot per inch thick equivalent to 501 84 pounds per cubic foot 8 038 7 kg m 3.

Grit blasting prior to galvanizing is usually the most appropriate method and a requirement for a nominal coating thickness of 1000 g m 140 µm has been successfully specified for steel of 6 mm section thickness. Specified minimum yield strength 700 n mm2. Length and width tolerances these tend to be tighter and are now all on the plus side i e. The equivalent thicknesses differ for each gauge size standard which were developed based on the weight of the sheet for a given material.

Nominal width 600mm. Tolerances on plate less than 600 mm wide shall be agreed at time of enquiry order. Thickness tolerances considerably tighter for alloys 1050a 3103. Nominal thickness 3mm 250mm.
