Maximum Warp & Twist Sheet Tolerances
Nominal Thicknesses from - to		Maximum warp & twist
inches	mm	%
.031" - .062"	.787 - 1.575	5.00%
.063" - .125"	1.600 - 3.175	2.50%
.126" .250"	3.200 - 6.350	1.00%
.251" - .750"	6.375 - 19.050	0.50%
.751" - Max.	19.075 - Max.	0.25%
For the method of measuring warp and twist, refer to ASTM D-229.

Sheet Tolerance Thickness:
At least 90% of the area of the sheet shall be within the tolerances listed above.

Sheet Tolerance Length and Width:
The length and width of the manufactured sheet will be within +/- 1.000" \ 25.4mm of the nominal sheet size.

Sheet Tolerance Warp and Twist:
In case of warp, the % is stated in terms of the lateral dimension (length or width).
In the case of twist, the % is stated in terms of the dimension from one corner to the diagonally opposite corner.
