Dimensional Range
Barrel Design
- Outside Diameter from 8mm (0.3”) to 150mm (5.9”)
- Inside Diameter from 6mm (0.24”) to 140mm (5.5”)
- Length from 1mm (0.039”) to 150mm (5.9”)
Stave Design
- Length from 1mm (0.039”) to 150 (5.9”)
- Width from 8mm (0.3”) to 25.4mm (1”)
- Thickness from 5mm (0.2”) to 25.4mm (1”)
Custom sizes dimensions outside of the above may be possible – please consult for further information.
Standard Mechanical Tolerances
- Outside Diameter (*) ± 0.150mm
- Inside Diameter (*) ± 0.150mm
- Length (**) ± 0.05mm
- Width (**) ± 0.150mm
- Thickness (**) ± 0.05mm
- Angle ± 0.25°
Tighter mechanical tolerances are achievable but are dependent on the ring inside and outside diameters and thickness.
Notes: (*) Barrel design, (**) Wedge design
Metallisation Type
- Silver fired thick film - Evaporated Nickel
- Electroless nickel - Gold flash
- Tin - Evaporated Gold and others available on request
