As per our Shipping and Returns Policy, custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-returnable. If you need an over- or undersized item, note it under \"Comments\" during Checkout. Cut-to-size orders have an acceptable cut tolerance of 1/8" (0.125"), so clarify if the adjustment is to be made on the (+) or (-) side of the saw blade. Please review our full return and shipping policy here.
Measure Twice, Cut OnceSince custom cuts and fabricated parts are non-refundable, be very careful while measuring your dimensions. As each cut is nominal, even the slightest miscalculation could be costly.
How to Use a Measuring TapeExtend your tape measure several inches to find the 1 and 2 inch markers. In between the inch markers you’ll find 16 equally spaced tick marks.
Measure by counting the increments beyond the nearest inch. As the increments decrease, so does the length of the mark. For example, 1/2\" has a bigger mark than 1/4\" which has a bigger mark than 1/8\". The smallest mark follows at 1/16\". Please be aware that some measuring tapes may have even smaller increments.
Features of a Measuring Tape: Sliding End HookThe sliding end hook is designed for two different types of measurements. An outside measurement (where the hook of the tape hangs over an edge), requires the hook to slide out a bit to account for the thickness of the material. When making an inside measurement (where the hook will push up against a surface), the clip slides in, again, accounting for its thickness. The measuring tape self-adjusts to guarantee an accurate measurement (as far as the tape is concerned).
G10 glass epoxy laminate phenolic is made from a combination of glass cloth layers infused with an epoxy resin. It is known for its great mechanical properties, including impressive mechanical strength, stiffness, and chemical resistance. G10 has excellent electrical properties, but the lacks flame-retardant characteristics of G-10/FR4. For applications requiring flame resistance, see our G-10/FR4 glass epoxy composite sheet. Excellent Mechanical Properties G10 phenolic is dimensional stable and capable of maintaining its mechanical strength and stiffness consistently over a broad temperature range, allowing for its use in both hot and cold conditions. With high tensile and compressive strength, along with good flexural strength, it holds its shape when subjected to forces that pull, squeeze, or bend the sheet. However, unlike its successor, G10/FR4, G10 phenolic lacks flame retardancy and should not be employed in flame-resistant applications. Electrical Insulation Properties Phenolic G10 exhibits high dielectric strength that allows it to endure electrical currents without deteriorating or losing its physical properties. Its low dissipation factor and dielectric constant ensure minimal signal loss and distortion during transmission.G10 serves as an effective material for printed circuit boards and is a popular choice for insulation or in electrical enclosures and various electronic components. Resistant to Chemicals G10 has exceptional chemical resistance and can be used in applications that often come into contact with harsh chemicals. G10 is resistant to many acids, bases, solvents, and oils and won't degrade or deteriorate if exposed to them, which enhances its lifespan and durability in challenging conditions. Its robust chemical resistance makes G10 a popular material across various industries where corrosion prevention is required, including the chemical processing, marine, and automotive industries.
