    W13 Thickness tolerances of steel plates and wide


    W13
    (cont)
    (1981)
    (Rev.1
    flats
    1989)
    W13.1 Scope
    (Rev.2
    1992)
    W13.1.1 These requirements apply to the tolerance on thickness of steel plates and wide
    (Rev.3
    flats with widths of 600 mm or greater (hereinafter referred to as: product or products) with
    1995)
    thicknesses of 5 mm and over, covering the following steel grades:
    (Rev.4
    Oct
    (i) Normal and higher strength hull structural steels according to W11
    2009)
    (Rev.5
    (ii) High strength quenched and tempered steels for welded structure according to UR W16
    Feb
    2012)
    (iii) Steels for machinery structures in accordance with the individual Rules of Classification
    (Corr.1
    Societies
    May
    2012)
    The thickness tolerances for products below 5 mm may be specially agreed.

    NOTE:
    Tolerances for length, width, flatness and over thickness may be taken from national or
    international standards.

    W13.1.2 These requirements do not apply to products intended for the construction of
    boilers, pressure vessels and independent tanks, e.g. for the transportation of liquefied gases
    or chemicals.

    W13.1.3 Class C of ISO 7452 may be applied in lieu of W13.3, in which case the
    requirements in W13.4 and W13.5 need not be applied. If Class C of ISO 7452 is to be used,
    the portion of the footnote of ISO 7452, Table 2, which reads “Also a minus side of thickness
    of 0,3 mm is permitted.” is not to be applied.

    Additionally, if ISO 7452 is applied, it is required that the steel mill demonstrate to the
    satisfaction of the Classification Society that the number of measurements and measurement
    distribution is appropriate to establish that the mother plates produced are at or above the
    specified nominal thickness.

    Note:

    1. Rev.4 of this UR is to be uniformly implemented by IACS Societies on ships contracted for construction
    on or after 1 January 2011 and when the application for certification of steel plates is dated on or after 1
    January 2011.

    2. The “contracted for construction” date means the date on which the contract to build the vessel is signed
    between the prospective owner and the shipbuilder. For further details regarding the date of “contract for
    construction”, refer to IACS Procedural Requirement (PR)No. 29.

    3. Rev.5 of this UR is to be uniformly implemented by IACS Societies on ships contracted for construction
    on or after 1 January 2013 and when the application for certification of steel plates is dated on or after
    1 January 2013.

    W13.2 Responsibility
    W13
    (cont) W13.2.1 The responsibility for verification and maintenance of the production within the
    required tolerances rests with the manufacturer. The Surveyor may require to witness some
    measurements.

    W13.2.2 The responsibility for storage and maintenance of the delivered product(s) with
    acceptable level of surface conditions rests with the shipyard before the products are used in
    fabrication.

    W13.3 Thickness tolerances

    W13.3.1 The tolerances on thickness of a given product are defined as:

    - Minus tolerance is the lower limit of the acceptable range below the nominal thickness.

    - Plus tolerance is the upper limit of the acceptable range above the nominal thickness.

    NOTE:
    Nominal thickness is defined by the purchaser at the time of enquiry and order.

    W13.3.2 The minus tolerance on thickness of products in accordance with UR W11 and UR
    W16 is 0.3 mm irrespective of nominal thickness.

    W13.3.3 The minus tolerances for products for machinery structures are to be in accordance
    with Table 1.

    Table 1
    Nominal thickness (t) (mm) Tolerance (mm)
    5≤t<8 -0.4
    8 ≤ t < 15 -0.5
    15 ≤ t < 25 -0.6
    25 ≤ t < 40 -0.8
    t ≥ 40 -1.0

    W13.3.4 The tolerances on nominal thickness are not applicable to areas repaired by
    grinding which are to be in accordance with a recognized standard. The IACS
    recommendation No.12 may be used for this purpose.

    W13.3.5 The plus tolerances on nominal thickness are to be in accordance with a


    recognized national or international standard.

    W13.4 Average thickness

    W13.4.1 The average thickness of a product or products is defined as the arithmetic mean
    of the measurements made in accordance with the requirements of W13.5.

    W13.4.2 The average thickness of a product or products in accordance with URs W11 or
    W16 is not to be less than the nominal thickness.

    W13.5 Thickness measurements


    W13
    (cont) W13.5.1 The thickness is to be measured at locations of a product or products as defined in
    Annex.

    W13.5.2 Automated method or manual method is applied to the thickness measurements.

    W13.5.3 The procedure and the records of measurements are to be made available to the
    Surveyor and copies provided on request.

    ANNEX: Thickness Measuring Locations


    W13
    (cont) A.1 Scope of application

    This Annex applies to the thickness measuring locations for the thickness tolerance and the
    average thickness of the product.

    A.2 Measuring locations

    At least two lines among Line 1, Line 2 or Line 3 as shown in Figure A.1, are to be selected
    for the thickness measurements and at least three points on each selected line as shown in
    Figure A.1 are to be selected for thickness measurement. If more than three points are taken
    on each line the number of points shall be equal on each line.

    NOTE:
    The measurement locations apply to a product rolled directly from one slab or steel ingot
    even if the product is to be later cut by the manufacturer. Examples of the original
    measurements relative to later cut products are shown in Figure A.2. It is to be noted that the
    examples shown are not representative of all possible cutting scenarios.

    For automated methods, the measuring points at sides are to be located not less than 10 mm
    but not greater than 300 mm from the transverse or longitudinal edges of the product.

    For manual methods, the measuring points at sides are to be located not less than 10 mm but
    not greater than 100 mm from the transverse or longitudinal edges of the product.
