Foreword
This document (EN 755-7:2008) has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 132 “Aluminium and
aluminium alloys”, the secretariat of which is held by AFNOR.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical
text or by endorsement, at the latest by September 2008, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn
at the latest by September 2008.
This document supersedes EN 755-7:1998.
Within its programme of work, Technical committee CEN/TC 132 entrusted CEN/TC 132/WG 5 "Extruded and

The following technical modifications have been introduced during the revision:
 Clause 1: Scope is clarified with respect to what is not included
 Clause 2: Alloys EN AW-3102, EN AW-6008, EN AW-6014, EN AW-6360 are added in Group I
 Alloys EN AW-5049, EN AW-6110A, EN AW-6023, EN AW-7108, EN AW-7108A and EN AW-7021 are
added in Group II
 Subclauses 3.4 and Table 4: Requirements to wall thickness variation (eccentricity) is introduced
 Annex A: Informative Annex A is added explaining wall thickness variation (eccentricity)
EN 755 comprises the following parts under the general title "Aluminium and aluminium alloys — Extruded
rod/bar, tube and profiles":
 Part 1: Technical conditions for inspection and delivery
 Part 2: Mechanical properties
 Part 3: Round bars, tolerances on dimensions and form
 Part 4: Square bars, tolerances on dimensions and form
 Part 5: Rectangular bars, tolerances on dimensions and form
 Part 6: Hexagonal bars, tolerances on dimensions and form
 Part 7: Seamless tubes, tolerances on dimensions and form
 Part 8: Porthole tubes, tolerances on dimensions and form
 Part 9: Profiles, tolerances on dimensions and form
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. CEN [and/or CENELEC] shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
CEN/TC 132 affirms it is its policy that in the case when a patentee refuses to grant licenses on standardized
standards products under reasonable and not discriminatory conditions then this product shall be removed
from the corresponding standard.

1 Scope
This document specifies the tolerances on dimensions and form for aluminium and aluminium alloy extruded
seamless tubes with an outside diameter (OD) from 8 mm to 450 mm (round tube, see Figure 1) or with a
cross section contained within a circumscribing circle (CD) from 10 mm to 350 mm (other than round tube, see
Figure 2), supplied in straight lengths.
This standard only applies to tube produced by the seamless die/mandrel method of extrusion. This standard
applies to extruded seamless tube for general engineering applications only.
The temper designations used in this part are according to EN 515.
This European Standard does not apply to:
 extruded tubes produced by porthole/bridge method (EN 755-8),
 tubes delivered in coils (prEN 13957),
 coiled tubes cut to length (prEN 13957).

2 Alloy groups
For the purposes of this European Standard, the alloys are distributed into two groups which correspond to
varying degrees of 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. Grouping of other alloys is subject to agreement between supplier and purchaser.

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 tolerances on diameter are specified in Table 2.

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 0,5 % up to and including 1,0 % of outside diameter: 4,0 x tolerance.
