MATERIAL SPECIFICATION INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR "STOCK" MATERIAL TOLERANCES
MATERIAL SPECIFICATION INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR "STOCK" MATERIAL TOLERANCES
(OP)
We frequently see this note on a major customer's prints: REFER TO THE MATERIAL SPECIFICATION INDUSTRY STANDARD FOR "STOCK" MATERIAL TOLERANCES. This has usually been read here as referring to the material thickness rather than material properties. Looking at the ASTM B209 spec for the item I'm working on, and other ASTM material specs, I don't see any reference to thickness tolerances, only chemical and mechanical properties. Are there specifications for thicknesses? We purchase material per spec, mostly steel and aluminum sheet and plate, and bar stock.

This is called out in the B209 specification at section 2.3
It covers just about all shapes and forms.
