SURFACE FINISH

APPROVED FINISHES EN 10202

Product finish	Code	Base Steel	Nominal roughness of the base steel μm Ra	Terms and definitions
Bright	BR	Smooth	≤ 0.35	A finish resulting from the use of working rolls in the temper mill, with fine grinding, and, in the case of tin plates, the remelting of the layer of tin.
Fine stone	FS	Fine stone	0.25 - 0.45	A finish characterised by directional grooves, resulting from the use of rolls in the temper mill, with less fine grinding than is used for a bright finish and, in the case of tinplates, the remelting of the layer of tin.
Stone	ST	Stone	0.35 - 0.60	A finish characterised by directional grooves, resulting from the use of rolls in the temper mill, with less fine grinding than is used for a bright finish and, in the case of tinplates, the remelting of the layer of tin.
Silver	SG	Shot blasted	≥ 0.90	A tinplate product whose tin layer has been remelted, resulting from the use of shot blasted rolls in the temper mill.
Matt	MM	Shot blasted	Variable	A tinplate product resulting from the use of shot blasted rolls in the temper mill and not remelting the tin layer.

HICKNESS TOLERANCES

Thickness tolerances and edge reduction according to EN 10202

The thickness of the material must meet the following requirements:
a) Deviation from the agreed thickness, measured on the centre line of the strip, must not exceed ± 5%.
b) Deviation from the agreed thickness, measured at any point at a distance of no less than 6 mm from the sheared edge, must be between +5% and -8%.
