When measuring thickness, a 10 mm zone from the product edges is disregarded (EN 485-4:1993).

Width: Tolerance values are confirmed according to the selected product specification and applicable standard.
Length: Not applicable — coils are supplied continuous / by weight, not cut length.
Straightness: Tolerance values are confirmed according to the selected product specification and applicable standard.

Temper Designations & Heat Treatment

Temper Designation	General Meaning	Typical Effect on Properties	Common Product Forms
F	As fabricated — no special control over strain-hardening or heat treatment	Properties not guaranteed, depend entirely on the forming process	Any product form, as it comes off the mill/press
O	Annealed / fully soft condition	Lowest strength, highest ductility and formability	Sheet, coil
H	Strain-hardened (work-hardened, non-heat-treatable alloys)	Strength increases, ductility decreases, with sub-classes (e.g. H14, H24) indicating degree of hardening	Sheet, coil, plate
W	Solution heat-treated — unstable temper	Applies only between solution treatment and natural/artificial ageing; properties change over time	Heat-treatable alloys in transit to a T temper
T	Thermally treated (heat-treatable alloys), with sub-classes (e.g. T6, T66) indicating the specific heat-treatment/ageing sequence	Higher strength and hardness versus as-fabricated condition; exact levels depend on alloy and process	Extruded bar, profiles, plate

Temper availability depends on the alloy, product form, supplier, and order requirements.
