Starrett 54891 Low Carbon Steel Flat Stock 3/32x6x24 in

Product Description

The STARRETT 54891 is a low carbon steel flat stock bar cut to 24 inches long, 6 inches wide, and 3/32 inch thick. Manufactured to Type C1010 material specification, it provides consistent mechanical properties suited to fabrication, repair, and custom component work in trade and industrial settings. Tight dimensional tolerances — plus or minus 0.001 inch on thickness and squareness, and a width tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch — make it appropriate where fit and finish matter at the workbench or in the field. Licensed fabricators, machinists, and maintenance technicians are the primary installers and end users of this stock material.

This flat stock is suited for light fabrication tasks across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades. Common applications include custom brackets, shims, strapping, reinforcement plates, and repair stock where a low carbon steel bar can be cut, drilled, bent, or welded to specification. The 24 x 6 x 3/32 inch format offers a broad flat surface with minimal thickness, useful when low-profile steel stock is required in tight assemblies or custom enclosure work.

Key Features

• Thickness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inch for precise fit in close-tolerance applications
• Width tolerance of plus 0.000 to 0.005 inch maintains dimensional control across the bar
• Squareness tolerance of plus or minus 0.001 inch supports accurate layout and assembly
• Length tolerance of plus 0.625 inch allows for field trimming to exact dimension
• Single-piece packaging with a minimum order quantity of one for job-specific procurement

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose low carbon steel flat stock suitable for fabrication, repair, and replacement bracket work across trade and industrial applications.

Installation Notes

Cutting, drilling, welding, or bending this flat stock should be performed by qualified tradespeople using appropriate personal protective equipment and metalworking tooling. De-burr all cut edges before handling or installation in an assembly. Follow applicable local codes and job-site safety requirements when welding or grinding. Store flat to prevent warping and keep away from moisture to reduce surface oxidation prior to use.
