Enquiries should be made to the manufacturer as to whether shorter or greater lengths can be supplied.

Ribbed and grooved spring steel can also be supplied in limited manufacturing lengths with a length range to be
stated when ordering. The span between the shortest and greatest length of this range shall be at least 2000 mm
(for example, 6 000 to 8 000).

When ordered by weight, the length may vary between the maximum and minimum dimensions specified for the
manufacturing length.

When ordering, the total ranges for the permissible deviations may, by agreement, be entirely on the plus side, for
example:

Measurements
Thickness and width

The thickness and width shall be measured at any point situated at least 100 mm from the end of the
flat bar. Cold shearing can deform the bar ends. The condition of ends can be agreed at time of
enquiry and order.

7.2

Length

The length shall be measured as the longest length of the flat.

7.3

Straightness

The straightness shall be measured over the total length L of the flat.

7.4

Convexity and Concavity

The convexity and concavity shall be measured at any point situated at least 100 mm from the end of
the flat bar.

7.5

Lateral offset of the groove and the rib

The lateral offset of the groove and the rib shall be measured at any point situated at least 100 mm
from the end of the flat bar.
