Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 6362-6 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 79, Light metals and their alloys, Subcommittee
SC 6, Wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys.
ISO 6362 consists of the following parts, under the general title Wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys —
Extruded rods/bars, tubes and profiles:
— Part 1: Technical conditions for inspection and delivery
— Part 2: Mechanical properties

1 Scope
This part of ISO 6362 specifies the tolerances on dimensions and shape of wrought aluminium and aluminium
alloy extruded round bars having diameters in the range from 8 mm up to 350 mm; and square and hexagonal
bars having widths across flats in the range from 10 mm up to 220 mm.
It applies to extruded round, square and hexagonal bars.
2 Normative references
The following referenced documents are indispensable for the application of this document. For dated
references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document
(including any amendments) applies.
ISO 6362-1, Wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys — Extruded rods/bars, tubes and profiles — Part 1:
Technical conditions for inspection and delivery
3  Terms and definitions
For the purposes of this document, the terms and definitions given in ISO 6362-1 apply.
4 Materials
For the purposes of this part of ISO 6362, wrought aluminium and aluminium alloys are divided into two groups,
which correspond to varying difficulty when manufacturing the products.
The division into group I and group II of the most commonly used general engineering alloys is specified in
Table 1 (for seamless tube) and Table 2 (for porthole tube). Grouping of other alloys is subject to agreement
between the purchaser and supplier.

5 Tolerances on dimensions
5.1 General
When outside diameter OD, inside diameter ID, and wall thickness t, 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.
For round tubes see Figure 1. For any tubes that are other than round, see Figure 2.
