Tolerance Guidelines:
Material tolerances not listed below shall be in accordance with the ASTM, ASME, or AMS specification to which the material was produced and certified.
Minimum width/length: 2”/3”
Minimum cut shape size: 3″
Minimum hole size: 2× thickness with a minimum of 0.125”
Kerf: Approximately 0.062”
Standard cutting tolerances are as follows:
- 0.015″ to 0.1875″ thick:
– width/length +/-0.030″ ≤ 96” OD/ID + 0.062”/-0 OD & + 0/-0.062” ID
– width/length +/-0.062” > 96”
- >0.1875″ to 2.0″ thick:
– width/length +/-0.062″ OD/ID + 0.125”/-0 OD & + 0/-0.125” ID
- >2.0″ thick: +/-0.125″
– width/length +/-0.125″ OD/ID + 0.250”/-0 OD & + 0/-0.250” ID
- Diagonal tolerance is 3/16″ maximum on waterjet cut items.
