What is A36 plate thickness tolerance

A36 plate is carbon steel, its tensile strength is 58-80 Ksi (400-550MPa), yield strength is 36 Ksi (250MPa). A36 plate thickness tolerance is specified by ASTM A6/A6M standard as below.

A36 plate thickness tolerance:

A36 plate thickness tolerance is one of the important inspection items before delivery. A36 plate thickness tolerance shall be within the range above. If not, the customer has the right to reject the goods and ask for fresh production. A36 plate thickness tolerance is also one of the reasons for price difference.
