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. |

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 | ||||
| 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.
