Maudlin Products 316-003-6-50 Shim Roll 6 in x 50 in x 0.003 in Annealed Stainless Steel 316

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.
