Stainless Steel Sheet & Strip Applications

Sheet

A flat rolled product in coils or cut lengths: 24 inches (610 mm) and OVER in width and UNDER 0.1875 (4.76 mm) in thickness.

Strip

A flat rolled product in coils or cut lengths: 24 inches (610 mm) and UNDER in width and UNDER 0.1875 (4.76 mm) in thickness.
