Note 1: Normalized and tempered tolerances are the same as quenched and tempered tolerances. Note 2: If water quench and temper is required for specified ó Refer to Mill for applicable tolerance. Note 3: Hot Rolled tubing usually is specified OD x Wall only.

Wall Tolerances

Wall Thickness	Maximum Over & Under Normal Wall
	2" to 11" O.D.		Over 11" O.D.
	Plus	Minus	Plus	Minus
Walls under 10% of nominal Outside Diameter	10.0%	10.0%	12.5%	12.5%
Walls 10% of nominal O.D. to 25% of nominal O.D. inclusive.	7.5%	7.5%	12.5%	12.5%
Walls over 25% of nominal Outside Diameter	7.5%	7.5%	12.5%	12.5%
Note: Wall thickness range & tolerances are ASTM-A-519 modified

Straightness Tolerances

Outside Diameter Size Range Inches	Wall % Of Outside Diameter	Maximum Deviation From Straight
		Total Inches In Any 3 Feet	Total In Entire Length: Inches Per Foot Of Length
		Total Inches In Any 3 Feet	Length 3 to 22 Feet	Length Under 3 And Over 22 Feet
Up to 5000"	3% OD & Over	.030"	.007"	.010"
5.001/8.000"	4% OD & Over	.045"	.010"	.015"
8.001/10.750"	4" OD & Over	.060"	.015"	.020"
Note: Out-of-straightness is ordinarily checked at points of maximum deviation (as determined by line-of-sight observation) by means of a three-front straightedge and feeler gages. When overall straightness in entire length is of concern, the tube is rolled on a surface-plate and maximum deviation-from-straight is determined by means of feeler gages inserted between the tube and plate at point of maximum departure. If rotational methods such as chucking the tubs at its ends or supporting the ends on rollers and rotating under a dial indicator are used, extreme care in interpreting results must be employed because readings are influenced by OD dimensional variation in addition to deviation-from-straight. Not applicable to quenched and tempered tubes over 302 BHN.
