EN 2589:2017 - Aerospace series - Steel - Sheet and strip, cold rolled - Thickness 0,1 mm ≤ a ≤ 3 mm - Dimensions

Overview

EN 2589:2017 is a CEN European Standard for the aerospace sector that specifies the dimensions and tolerances of cold‑rolled steel sheets and strips with thickness in the range 0.1 mm to 3.0 mm. It defines measurement methods, mass per unit area, dimensional and geometric tolerances, and references the normative documents required for application.

This standard supports consistent material supply for aerospace manufacturing by ensuring repeatable thickness, controlled mass, and predictable geometry for airframe and component fabrication.

Key Topics

  • Scope and thickness range: Applies to cold‑rolled steel sheets and strips where 0.1 mm ≤ a ≤ 3 mm for aerospace applications.
  • Mass per unit area: Nominal masses are provided (calculated using a reference density of 7.85 kg/dm³) to link thickness to areal mass for design and procurement.
  • Measurement rules: Thickness measurements shall be taken at least 20 mm from the edge; for narrow strips (b ≤ 40 mm) thickness is measured on the reference line.
  • Dimensional tolerances: Tolerances for thickness vary by nominal thickness and width category; separate tables cover sheet and strip tolerances. Width and length tolerances are defined (width often permitted +/0 values; length tolerances apply to sheets).
  • Geometric tolerances (sheet only): Includes requirements and measurement methods for
    • Squareness (difference of diagonals limits),
    • Lateral curvature, and
    • Flatness (chord‑based limits).
  • Normative references: The document refers to EN 2600 (designation rules), EN 3848 (methods for measuring form deviations) and TR 2410 (relationship between dimensional standards and material standards).

Applications

EN 2589:2017 is used by:

  • Procurement teams specifying cold‑rolled steel for aerospace parts to ensure suppliers deliver material within agreed dimensional and geometric limits.
  • Manufacturers and fabricators for quality control of incoming sheets and strips, enabling predictable forming, joining and assembly operations.
  • Design engineers who require correlated mass and thickness data for structural calculations and weight budgeting.
  • Inspection and test labs applying standard measurement methods (as referenced) to verify compliance with tolerances.

Benefits include improved interchangeability of parts, reduced rework, and reliable mass estimates for weight‑sensitive aerospace structures.

Related Standards

  • EN 2600 - Designation rules for semi‑finished metallic products (used for product identification and ordering).
  • EN 3848 - Methods of measuring form deviations (applies to squareness, flatness, curvature measurements).
  • TR 2410 - Relates dimensional standards to metallic material standards for appropriate material selection and specification.

For procurement and compliance, reference EN 2589:2017 alongside material and process specifications to ensure full traceability and conformity for aerospace sheet and strip supply.
