The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are
indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated
references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.

Technical conditions for inspection and delivery
3 Tolerances on dimensions
3.1 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.
3.2 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 maximum allowable deviation of diameter at any point from the specified diameter is the maximum
difference measured at any point along the length of the tube ie it is inclusive of any ovality in the cross
section.
The tolerances on diameter are specified in Table 1.
As detailed in EN 755-1:2016, Clause 4, if the original order does not make clear the nature of the
diameter tolerances required, the supplier shall interpret them as inclusive of any ovality (i.e. maximum
allowable deviation at any point from the specified diameter in Table 1). However, the diameter
tolerances may be expressed as both mean and inclusive of ovality if this is specifically requested by the
purchaser.

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:

This European Standard only applies to extruded porthole tube for general engineering applications made in the following alloys: — EN AW-1050A, EN AW-1200, EN AW-1350; — EN AW-3003, EN AW-3103; — EN AW-5005, EN AW-5005A, EN AW-5049, EN AW-5051A, EN AW-5251, EN AW-5052; — EN AW-6101A, EN AW-6101B, EN AW-6005, EN AW-6005A, EN AW-6008, EN AW-6110A, EN AW-6012, EN AW-6014, EN AW-6018, EN AW-6351, EN AW-6060, EN AW-6360, EN AW-6061, EN AW-6261, EN AW-6262, EN AW-6262A, EN AW-6063, EN AW-6063A, EN AW-6463, EN AW-6065, EN AW-6081, EN AW-6082; EN AW-6182; — EN AW-7003, EN AW-7005, EN AW-7108, EN AW-7108A, EN AW-7020. The temper designations used in this part are according to EN 515. This European Standard only applies to tube produced by the tube porthole/bridge method. This European Standard does not apply to: — extruded tubes produced by the seamless, die/mandrel method (EN 755-7), — tubes delivered in coils (EN 13957), — coiled tubes cut to length (EN 13957).

FprEN 755-1:2015, Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Extruded rod/bar, tube and profiles - Part 1: Technical conditions for inspection and delivery 3 Tolerances on dimensions 3.1 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. 3.2 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 maximum allowable deviation of diameter at any point from the specified diameter is the maximum difference measured at any point along the length of the tube ie it is inclusive of any ovality in the cross section. The tolerances on diameter are specified in Table 1. As detailed in FprEN 755-1:2015, Clause 4, if the original order does not make clear the nature of the diameter tolerances required, the supplier shall interpret them as inclusive of any ovality (i.e. Maximum kSIST FprEN 755-8:2015

However, the diameter tolerances may be expressed as both mean and inclusive of ovality if this is specifically requested by the purchaser.

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. b Applies to all alloys in F or H112 tempers. c Applies to all alloys in T4, T5, T6, T64, T66 and Tx511 tempers. d Applies to all alloys in O, H111 and Tx510 tempers. e This tolerance applies for outside diameter only, i.e. tube in this size range can only be specified as "Outside Diameter x Wall Thickness". f Not applicable to Tx510 or Tx511 tempers. 3.3 Width, depth or width across flats - squares, rectangles, hexagons, octagons The tolerances on width, depth or width across flats are specified in Table 2. kSIST FprEN 755-8:2015
