Material guide 02
Geometry with
a purpose.
A profile enquiry starts with the shape, then adds the material and dimensional requirements that make it usable.
Make the geometry clear
A rectangular hollow section and an open section describe different forms. A dimensioned reference, when available, helps distinguish the required shape from a visually similar alternative.
Keep the full requirement together
Material, section dimensions, thickness, length and finish should be considered together. Include the intended downstream process and any documentation your application requires.
Agree the actual supply
Confirm the specification and commercial conditions for the particular requirement. No diagram here declares a tolerance, production method or grade range.
