2 Tolerances on dimensions
2.1 General
When outside diameter OD, inside diameter ID, and wall thickness t, (or their equivalent dimensions in other
than round tube) are all specified, standard tolerances shall apply to any two of these dimensions, but not to
all three. As a result, the purchaser shall only state two nominal dimensions on any given order.
2.2 Diameter - Round tube
Mean diameter is defined as the average of two diameter measurements taken at right angles to each other at
any position along the length.
The tolerances on diameter are specified in Table 1.

a
Not applicable to tubes having a wall thickness less than 2,5 % of the specified outside diameter. The tolerance for tubes with
wall thickness less than 2,5 % of the specified outside diameter shall be determined by multiplying the applicable tolerance as
follows:
- wall thickness over 2,0 % up to and including 2,5 % of outside diameter : 1,5 x tolerance;
- wall thickness over 1,5 % up to and including 2,0 % of outside diameter : 2,0 x tolerance;
- wall thickness over 1,0 % up to and including 1,5 % of outside diameter : 3,0 x tolerance;
- wall thickness over 0,5 % up to and including 1,0 % of outside diameter : 4,0 x tolerance.

Applies to all alloys in H1x, H2x, H3x tempers, and to alloy EN AW-6063 in the T832 temper.

Applies to all alloys in T3, T4, T6, T66, T73, T8, T9 and Tx511 tempers.
d
This tolerance applies for outside diameter only, i.e. tube in this size range can only be specified as "Outside Diameter x Wall
Thickness".
e
Shall not apply to Tx510 or Tx511 tempers.

2.3 Width, depth or width across flats - squares, rectangles, hexagons, octagons

Not applicable to tubes having a wall thickness less than 2,5 % of the specified outside width, depth or width
across flats. The tolerance for tubes with wall thickness less than2,5 % of the specified width, depth or width across
flats shall be determined by multiplying the applicable tolerance as follows:
- wall thickness over 2,0 % up to and including 2,5 % of outside parameter : 1,5 x tolerance;
- wall thickness over 1,5 % up to and including 2,0 % of outside parameter : 2,0 x tolerance;

2.4 Wall thickness variation (eccentricity)
The tolerances on wall thickness variation (eccentricity) for round tubes are specified in Table 3. For other
than round tubes the wall thickness variation tolerances shall be agreed between supplier and purchaser.
