Standard width: 1000 mm, 1219 mm, 1500 mm, 2000 mm, non-standard width is slitted and cut in narrow width, width from 6 mm to 3048 mm.
Thickness range from 0.3 mm to 150 mm, there are varieties of thickness, thin thick sheet (0.2 mm – 4 mm), thick thickness plate（4 mm – 20 mm）, medium thickness plate (20 mm – 60 mm) and heavy thickness plate (60 mm – 115 mm).
Stainless steel plate & sheet gauge range from 1 to 30, size range thickness from 0.32 to 7.15 in mm, the higher the gauge, the thinner the material.
Stainless steel plate & sheet have various finishes condition to suit application, there are main surface finishes below, these finishes can be obtained by cold rolling or hot rolling producing method.
Products are packaged to ensure that there is no damage during transit. In case of exports, standard export packaging is done in wooden cases. All elbow fittings are marked with Grade, Lot No, Size, Degree and our trade mark. On special requests we can also, make custom marking on our products.
At Bu-LOK , all fittings and flanges are subject to strict inspection at each stage of the production process, from starting material purchasing to product dispatch. They are visually examined for conformity to ASTM, ASME, MSS, DIN, EN, and JIS codes and standards. Upon request, official certified Inspection Agencies can be called in to witness the material reports, dimensions and quality conformity of products.
