Precision shim stock for corrosion-critical fits
This 316 stainless steel shim roll is annealed to a soft temper for easy cutting and forming during alignment tasks. The material meets AMS 5906B and ASTM-A-666-03 quality standards for consistent performance. It suits maintenance crews in oil, gas, refinery and desalination environments where corrosion resistance is essential.
Replaces improvised shims and softer alloys
Cut-to-length pieces from this roll eliminate the guesswork of stacking washers or using carbon steel that rusts in place. The jump is worth it when a joint sees chlorides, sour gas or salt water and the shim must stay dimensionally stable. The +/- .00015 in thickness tolerance supports repeatable set-ups without rework.
Holds thickness under clamp load and thermal cycling
Annealed 316 work-hardens slightly at the contact faces, resisting permanent deformation when bolts are torqued. The plain finish avoids galvanic couples with dissimilar flanges in wet service. Length tolerance of +/- .250 in and width tolerance of +/- .005 in keep the stock square for long production runs.

Questions about this item
What are the exact width and length tolerances for the 6 in by 50 in shim roll?
Width tolerance is +/- 0.005 in and length tolerance is +/- 0.250 in for the 6 in by 50 in roll.
How should the annealed 316 stainless shim be cut and shaped during installation?
Cut with aviation snips or a fine-tooth band saw, then deburr edges; the soft temper allows hand forming but avoid sharp kinks that could work-harden and crack the 0.003 in material.
When will the shim stock need replacement in a corrosive oil-and-gas environment?
Replace when visible pitting, thickness loss beyond the 0.00015 in tolerance, or surface discoloration appears; 316 grade resists chlorides but is not immune to long-term attack.
