Thickness, width and length tolerances
Permitted variations in thickness, width and length when ordered to the standard. If you need closer tolerances, state them in your enquiry.
ASTM B127, B162, B168, B409, B424, B443Nickel alloy sheet and stripThickness ±0.038 – 0.56 mm±0.0015 – 0.022 in
Measured at least 9.5 mm (⅜ in) from any edge; strip under 25.4 mm (1 in) wide may be measured anywhere. Strip over 3.2 mm (0.125 in) thick, and strip over 305 mm (12 in) wide, takes the sheet tolerances.

- Strip under 0.25 mm (0.010 in) thick: ±10 % up to 406 mm (16 in) wide, ±15 % from 406 to 608 mm (16 – 23 15/16 in). Strip thickness is measured 9.5 mm (⅜ in) from the edge; under 25.4 mm (1 in) wide, anywhere.
- Cold-rolled sheet (under 4.76 mm thick): width +1.60 mm (1/16 in) from 610 to under 1220 mm (24 – 48 in), +3.20 mm (⅛ in) at 1220 mm and over; length +6.35 mm (¼ in) up to 3 m (10 ft), +12.7 mm (½ in) from 3 to 6 m (10 – 20 ft); no minus tolerance.
- Hot-rolled sheet: width +15.88 – 20.64 mm (⅝ – 13/16 in) and length +19.05 – 38.10 mm (¾ – 1½ in) by length and width, no minus tolerance; flatness 19.05 – 57.15 mm (¾ – 2¼ in) by width or length.
- Weight: a single item of cold-rolled sheet may exceed the estimated weight by 10 % (five sheets or fewer, or up to 91 kg / 200 lb) or 7½ % (larger items); hot-rolled sheet by 20 %; strip by 10 %. There is no minus weight tolerance; the minus thickness tolerance governs.
For copper-nickel and zirconium sheet and strip, tolerances are confirmed on enquiry.
Manufacturing and inspection
- Cold-rolled, then solution-annealed and pickled, or annealed in a protective atmosphere for a bright finish.
- Supplied in the temper ordered: annealed, or with a specified degree of cold work.
- Every lot is checked by PMI to confirm the alloy.
- EN 10204 3.1 certificates with every delivery; 3.2 with third-party witnessing on request.
