Tolerance Standards for Aluminum Extrusions

Updated :

The specification for dimensional tolerances in aluminum profiles refers to the specific regulations defining the allowable range of dimensional deviations during manufacturing. These regulations help ensure product quality and reliability. MASTAR offers various aluminum extrusion profiles, and the dimensional tolerances of these profiles comply with EN755 and EN12020 standards.

Different alloys have different tolerance standards, with alloys grouped into Group 1 and Group 2.
