5 TOLERANCES ON SHAPE

5.1 Edge camber 5.1.2

5.1.1 The permissible edge camber for cut lengths of less than
2 500 mm shall be agreed at the time of ordering.
The permissible edge camber related to a measured length of
2 500 mm, shall be: 5.2 Form of coils

6 TESTING

6.1 Thickness 6.1.4

6.1.1 The variation in thickness over a coil (see 4.1.3) shall be

measured on a line running parallel to and at least 20 mm
The thickness may be measured at any point on the centre line from the longitudinal edge of the strip.
for products up to 40 mm wide, and at any point at least 20 mm
from the longitudinal edge for products over 40 mm wide.

6.1.2 6.2 Width

The minimum distance of the points of measurement from the
beginning or end of the strip shall be 3 000 mm for coils with
uncropped ends and 2 000 mm for coils with cropped ends.
These minimum distances may be reduced by agreement at
the time of ordering.
6.1.3
The measuring points when measuring the crown (see 4.1.2)
shall lie on a line running perpendicular to the longitudinal
axis of the product.
The width shall be measured perpendicular to the longitudinal
axis outside the area of any uncropped end.
6.3 Edge camber
The maximum distance between one longitudinal edge and a
straight line which connects either end of the measured length
(2 500 mm) is considered to be the edge camber (see 5.1), and
this is measured on the concave side of the product outside
the area of any uncropped ends of coils.

transportation and storage.
