Hot-rolled narrow steel strip - Tolerances on dimensions and shape prEN 10048

Publication date:   Jul 23, 2026

Scope

This document specifies tolerances on dimensions and shape for hot rolled uncoated narrow strip and cut lengths of non-alloy and alloy steel grades in accordance with Table 1.
It is usually produced in thickness of 0,8 mm up to and including 16 mm and generally has a rolled width less than 600 mm but is also produced in rolled widths up to and including 720 mm.
Hot-rolled narrow strip has a symmetrical thickness profile with tight crown tolerances and therefore cannot be compared to slit wide strip.
This document also applies to hot-rolled strip for cold rolling.
Table 1 — Field of application
[...table not represented...]
This document can also be used for other steels, e.g.: steels from standards not mentioned in Table 1.
This document does not apply to:
— continuously hot-rolled wide strip and plate/sheet cut from wide strip of non-alloy and alloy steels and narrow strip obtained by slitting wide strip (EN 10051);
— hot-rolled patterned steel strip and plate/sheet cut from wide strip (see EN 10363);
— uncoated or electrolytically coated cold rolled sheet and strip (see EN 10131);
— hot-dip coated steel sheet and strip (EN 10143).
