\u4e00. Difference between nominal thickness and actual thickness of stainless steel<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Nominal thickness<\/strong> <\/span>refers to the specified thickness value (also known as nominal thickness; common values \u200b\u200binclude 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, etc.).<\/p>\n

Actual thickness<\/strong><\/span> refers to the thickness measured in reality (this value is generally precise to two decimal places, such as 0.85mm, 1.91mm, 2.75mm, 3.80mm, etc.).<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\u4e8c. What is the difference between the nominal thickness and actual thickness of stainless steel plates?<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The difference between the nominal thickness and the actual thickness of stainless steel depends on the manufacturing standards used for the material.<\/p>\n

For standard thicknesses of stainless steel plates, one can refer to Chinese standards such as GB\/T 713.7-2023<\/span><\/strong> (for pressure-bearing applications), GB\/T 4237-2015<\/span> <\/strong>(for hot-rolled plates), and GB\/T 3280-2015<\/span><\/strong> (for cold-rolled plates), as well as the American standard ASTM A240\/A240M-15a<\/span> <\/strong>(for cold-rolled plates). The first three are Chinese standards governing thickness tolerances for stainless steel plates.<\/p>\n

What are the negative tolerances (allowable deviations below nominal thickness) under the national standards? Please refer to the comparison table below showing nominal versus actual thicknesses for stainless steel plates.<\/p>\n

(1) Tables 1 & 2: For stainless steel plates with a width of 1.2 meters<\/span><\/strong>, the comparison between nominal and actual thickness is as follows:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Comparison Table of Nominal vs. Actual Thickness for Stainless Steel<\/p>\n

For other widths, information regarding the relationship between nominal and actual thickness for stainless steel plates\u2014as well as general thickness specifications\u2014can be found by searching the JBL official website (<\/a>Jblstainless.com<\/a>) <\/span>for terms such as “tolerance thickness” and “national standards.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The actual thickness standards for 304 stainless steel<\/a> are as shown in the image above; the correct actual thickness can be determined based on the specific plate width and applicable standards.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u4e09. Practical Implications of Nominal vs. Actual Thickness in Stainless Steel<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

The actual thickness of stainless steel is generally less than its nominal thickness.<\/p>\n

Nominal thickness is also referred to as theoretical thickness; for instance, stainless steel plates with an actual thickness of 2.75 mm or 2.8 mm are typically classified as having a nominal thickness of 3 mm (often referred to in the industry as “3-mm plate”).<\/p>\n

When purchasing stainless steel plates, JBL Stainless Steel advises you to consider the distinction between actual and nominal thickness, noting two different scenarios:<\/p>\n

(1) If the total price of the stainless steel material is calculated based on actual weight, the price per unit of weight is primarily influenced by market conditions and material quality.<\/p>\n

(2) If the total price is calculated based on theoretical weight (weight derived from nominal thickness; see: steel plate weight calculation formula), the price per unit of weight is influenced by a combination of three factors: the difference between nominal and actual thickness, market conditions, and material quality.<\/p>\n
