Tolerances to EN 10258 Cold Rolled Narrow stainless steel strip
EN 10258 applies to:
- Cold rolled narrow strip which is defined as having a rolled width of < 600 mm
- Coils slit from such narrow strip
- Cut lengths obtained from cold rolled narrow strip
- Maximum thickness of 3.00 mm
A range of special tolerances are provided for on thickness, width, length, flatness and edge camber.
Thickness tolerance
Tolerances are defined as Normal, Fine (F) or Precision (P). If the tolerance type is not specifically mentioned at the time of enquiry or order the Normal tolerance shall apply.

Flatness tolerance
The flatness tolerance of cut lengths shall not exceed 10mm for normal cases and 7mm where a special tolerance (FS) is required. This requirement does not apply to material supplied in the work hardened condition.
Edge waviness tolerance
For skin passed or stretch levelled strip the waviness of the edges shall be 0.03 for nominal thicknesses up to and including 1.00 mm and 0.02 for nominal thicknesses over 1.00, where waviness is defined as:
h/L where h is the wave height and L is the length over which the height is measured.
Out of squareness
The out of squareness of cut lengths in widths of 250mm and above shall not exceed 0.5% of the actual width of the product.
For cut lengths in widths of less than 250mm, the value is to be agreed at the time of enquiry and order.
Out of squareness is measured as in the diagram below:
Tolerance on edge camber

Edge camber is the greatest deviation of a side edge from a straight line, the measurement being taken on the concave side with a straight edge as shown in the diagram below:
