Information on European standards

EN 10143 : 2006

EN 10143 : 2006

In June 2006 the European Committee for Standardisation

published this revised standard, which supersedes the
1993 edition.
The standard is entitled Continuously hot-dip coated steel
sheet and strip Tolerances on dimensions and shape and
superseded the previous edition of the standard (1993) on
31 October, 2006.
This leaflet provides information about how products covered
by the standard are affected. It shows the new tolerances and
includes the superseded tolerances for comparison.
The information in this leaflet refers to wide strip, i.e. widths
greater than 600mm.
Products affected by the standard
Corus products affected by the standard are shown in table 1
below.
The changes
In the new standard, thickness tolerances are generally
tighter than those in the superseded standard and they are
now specified for four ranges of yield strength rather than the
former two ranges. Normal flatness tolerances are also tighter
than before.
Specifying
Customers should specify the new standard when ordering.

Corus will continue to offer products to Special tolerances.

To find out about the availability of tolerances tighter than
Special tolerances, please contact Corus (Technical enquiries),
who can also answer your questions about specifying under
the new standard.
Tolerances on thickness
The new 2006 tolerances on thickness are shown in tables
2-5. For comparison, the superseded 1993 tolerances are
shown in tables 6 and 7.
Tolerances on width
The 2006 tolerances are shown in table 8 overleaf. They are
unchanged from 1993 except for the addition of tolerances
for widths >1800mm.
Tolerances on flatness
The new 2006 tolerances on flatness are shown in tables
9 and 10 overleaf. For comparison, the superseded 1993
tolerances are shown in tables 11 and 12. Flatness tolerances
apply to sheet only.
For grades with an Rp0.2>360N/mm2, please specify the
flatness tolerance at the time of enquiry and order.
