If it is not applied, you will have to justify the condition by performing the Code calculatipns in the...

Tolerances are in the plate specs. SA-20, SA-516, SA-240, etc. etc.
Plate thicknesses are generally available in 1/8" increments, up to, say 1 1/2" 1/4" over that. But not always. Check with your suppliers for avaiability.
Well, you'd hope so :)
