Starrett 54888 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 24x3x3/32 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 54888 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar sized at 24 inches long, 3 inches wide, and 3/32 inch thick. Manufactured to Type C1010 material specification, it provides consistent dimensional accuracy with tight tolerances on all axes. Thickness and square tolerance hold to plus or minus 0.001 inch, width tolerance runs plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch, and length tolerance allows a plus 0.625 inch variance. At 1.9 pounds, this piece is suited for fabrication, repair, and maintenance work where a reliable, machinable low carbon steel stock is required. Machinists, fabricators, millwrights, and maintenance technicians are the primary users.

This flat stock is used in general metalworking and industrial maintenance applications where close-tolerance, low carbon steel material is needed for custom brackets, shims, spacers, straps, and structural support components. It cuts, drills, and welds readily due to the C1010 low carbon composition. Suitable for both shop fabrication and field repair work across commercial and industrial settings where a standard flat bar profile is specified.

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose low carbon steel flat stock for fabrication and maintenance applications requiring a 24 x 3 x 3/32 inch profile to Type C1010 material specification.

Installation Notes

This flat stock is worked by machinists and fabricators using standard metalworking equipment including saws, drills, mills, and welding equipment appropriate to low carbon steel. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment when cutting or grinding. Follow applicable shop safety standards and local codes when incorporating steel stock into structural or mechanical assemblies. Verify final dimensions after cutting, as length tolerance allows for stock longer than nominal.
