Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Extruded precision profiles in alloys EN AW-6060 and EN AW-6063 - Part 2: Tolerances on dimensions and form

This document specifies tolerances on dimensions and form of extruded precision profiles in alloys EN AW-6060 and EN AW-6063, manufactured with and without a thermal barrier (see Figures 1 and 2). It applies to extruded products supplied without further surface treatment. Precision profiles covered in this document are distinguished from extruded profiles for general applications covered in EN 755-9 by the following characteristics:
-   they are mainly for architectural applications designed with mostly uniformly wall-thicknesses;
-   they are mainly used for architecture, mechanical engineering and automotive applications (except structural-parts and crash-elements);
-   the maximum weight per metre of 10 kg/m;
-   the max. wall-thickness proportion (S max/S min) of 3,5 mm.
In the case of profiles which, due to the complexity of their design, are difficult to manufacture and specify, then special agreements between supplier and purchaser may need to be reached.
NOTE   The effect of the thermal barrier material on the dimensional tolerances is covered by this document although the actual thermal barrier material itself is not (see EN 14024).

Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen - Stranggepresste Präzisionsprofile aus Legierungen EN AW-6060 und EN AW-6063 - Teil 2: Grenzabmaße und Formtoleranzen

Dieses Dokument legt die Grenzabmaße und Formtoleranzen für stranggepresste Präzisionsprofile aus den Legierungen EN AW 6060 und EN AW 6063 fest, die mit oder ohne Wärmedämmung (siehe Bild 1 bzw. Bild 2) hergestellt werden. Es gilt für stranggepresste Erzeugnisse, die ohne weitere Oberflächenbehandlung hergestellt werden. Die in diesem Dokument beschriebenen Präzisionsprofile unterscheiden sich von den stranggepressten Profilen für allgemeine Anwendungen nach EN 755 9 wie folgt:
-   sie sind hauptsächlich für Anwendungen im Architekturbereich vorgesehen, die mit meist gleichmäßigen Wanddicken ausgeführt werden;
-   sie werden hauptsächlich in der Architektur, im Maschinenbau und im Automobilbau (außer als Konstruktionsteile und Crashelemente) eingesetzt;
-   das maximale Metergewicht beträgt 10 kg/m;
-   das maximale Wanddickenverhältnis (S max/S min) beträgt 3,5 mm.
Bei Profilen, die aufgrund ihrer komplexen Konstruktion schwierig herzustellen und zu spezifizieren sind, können besondere Vereinbarungen zwischen Lieferant und Käufer notwendig sein.
ANMERKUNG   Der Einfluss des Materials für die Wärmedämmung auf die Grenzabmaße wird in diesem Dokument berücksichtigt, wenngleich das eigentliche Material für die Wärmedämmung nicht enthalten ist (siehe EN 14024).

Aluminium et alliages d'aluminium - Profilés de précision filés en alliages EN AW-6060 et EN AW-6063 - Partie 2 : Tolérances sur dimensions et forme

Le présent document spécifie les tolérances sur dimensions et forme des profilés de précision filés en alliages EN AW-6060 et EN AW-6063 fabriqués avec ou sans barrière thermique (voir Figures 1 et 2). Il s’applique aux produits filés fournis sans traitement de surface spécifique. Les profilés de précision traités dans le présent document se distinguent des produits filés pour application générale traités dans l’EN 755 9 par les caractéristiques suivantes :
-   conçus avec des épaisseurs de paroi le plus souvent uniformes, ils sont principalement destinés aux applications architecturales ;
-   ils sont principalement destinés à des applications du génie mécanique, de l’architecture et de l’automobile (à l’exception des éléments de structure et des éléments exposés aux collisions) ;
-   la masse maximale par mètre est de 10 kg/m ;
-   le rapport maximal d’épaisseur de paroi (S max/S min) est de 3,5 mm.
Dans le cas de profilés qui, en raison de la complexité de leur conception, sont difficiles à fabriquer et à spécifier, il peut s’avérer nécessaire que le fournisseur et l’acheteur conviennent d’accords spéciaux.
NOTE   Les effets du matériau de barrière thermique sur les tolérances dimensionnelles sont traités dans le présent document, même si le matériau lui-même de la barrière thermique proprement dite ne l’est pas (voir l'EN 14024).

Aluminij in aluminijeve zlitine - Precizni iztiskani profili v zlitinah EN AW-6060 in EN AW-6063 - 2. del: Tolerance mer in oblike

Ta dokument določa tolerance mer in oblike preciznih iztiskanih profilov v zlitinah EN AW-6060 in EN AW-6063, izdelanih s termično prevleko ali brez nje (glej sliki 1 in 2). Uporablja se za iztiskane proizvode, dobavljene brez nadaljnje površinske obdelave. Precizni profili, ki jih zajema ta dokument, se razlikujejo od iztiskanih profilov za splošno uporabo, ki so zajeti v standardu EN 755-9, po naslednjih lastnostih:
–   namenjeni so zlasti za arhitekturno uporabo z večinoma enakomernimi debelinami sten;
–   uporabljajo se predvsem v arhitekturi, strojništvu in avtomobilski industriji (razen elementov konstrukcijskih delov in elementov proti trčenju);
–   največja teža na meter je 10 kg/m;
–   največji delež debeline stene (S max/S min) je 3,5 mm.
Pri profilih, ki jih je zaradi kompleksnosti zasnove težko izdelati in določiti, je morda treba doseči posebne dogovore med dobaviteljem in kupcem.
OPOMBA:   Učinek termične prevleke na tolerance mer je zajet v tem dokumentu, čeprav sam material termične prevleke ni zajet (glej standard EN 14024).
