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.
