Cleanliness- Lengths are capped with plastic caps when specified by the customer.
Tolerances- Exact straight lengths are produced to the dimensional tolerances specified in ASTM B251. Closer tolerances may be available provided a prior agreement between Cerro and the customer.
Box weights and packaging– Exact straight lengths are provided in 500 or 1,000 lb. bare bundles or with a protective wrapping or wooden boxes lined with plastic.
Testing- All exact straight lengths are eddy current tested in accordance with ASTM E243. Exact straight lengths are provided with no detectable defects.
