ISO 9013 is a standard that defines cut quality of thermally cut parts. The standard, among other things,
measure cut quality. The ranges referenced in the following chart show the deviaiton at a particular thickn
in ISO 9013 and its corresponding angle. The lower the range the tighter the ftolerance. Cut quality in ran
than cut quality in range 5.
