Dimensional tolerance for plates
Dimensional tolerance for plates
(OP)
I want to find out dimensional tolerance (length, width & thickness) for plates A516 Gr 70 & A240 Gr 310. A240 says to see A480, but in A480 there are many types of plates. In which category to see the dimensional tolerance. For A516, the std does not mention any thing about dimension tolerance. Please help me





RE: Dimensional tolerance for plates
As to which category your plate falls under, you might have to talk to a supplier.

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

For A 20, there are a list of plate material specifications, which A 516 applies. Review A 20 for dimensional tolerances, it is there in Table A1.1.
