When purchasing steel plates, should I go by weight or thickness? How can I get steel plates of the thickness I want? If measured by thickness, there will be errors; manufacturers may cut corners. If measured by weight, they will use thicker steel plates, so the total weight increases while the number of plates remains the same. How do you handle this?

Length * Width * Thickness; the weight is specified in the remarks, and the material is already indicated

There are tolerance requirements; keep it within the thickness range you can accept.

It seems a bit complicated when thinking about it~~~ In fact, for users, what’s important are thickness and area; in our BPS system, the three parameters mentioned regarding materials are thickness, area, and material type. Of course, some standards allow for negative deviations, so this needs to be taken into account
