TABLE 11 Permissible Variations From Flatness of Rectangular, Circular, and Sketch Plates
NOTE 1—Permissible variations apply to plates up to 12 ft (3.66 m) in length, or to any 12 ft (3.66 m) of longer plates.
NOTE 2—If the longer dimension is under 36 in. (914 mm), the permissible variation is not greater than 1⁄2 in. (12.7 mm).
NOTE 3—The shorter dimension specified is considered with width, and the permissible variation in flatness across the width does not exceed the
tabular amount of that dimension.†
NOTE 4—The maximum deviation from a flat surface does not customarily exceed the tabular tolerance for the longer dimension specified.
