Tolerances to BS EN 10296-2 for welded stainless steel tube

Introduction
Unlike the standards for flat and long products, the standards for stainless steel tube products contain information on tolerances. This is possibly because the tolerance requirements for tubes are simpler to define.

Straightness
OD Deviation from straightness on tube length L > 33.7 mm 0.0020 L < 33.7 mm Agreed at time of enquiry and order Example 50mm dia tube x 6000 mm long maximum deviation from straightness = 12 mm A tighter tolerance of 0.0015 L can be agreed at time of order and enquiry.

Outside Diameter
OD Tolerance on OD including ovality < 168.3 mm 0.75 % or 0.3 mm whichever is the greater > 168.3 mm 1.0 % A tighter tolerance can be agreed at the time of enquiry and order on tubes of < 114.3 mm of 0.5 % or 0.15 mm whichever is the greater.

Wall Thickness
For all tube sizes tolerance on wall thickness is 10 % or 0.2 mm whichever is the greater.

Weld Seam Height


The outside weld bead of HF welded tube shall be removed completely i.e. flush with the outside surface of the tube. The maximum heights of the external and internal weld seams shall otherwise be as given in the table below: Maximum height of weld seam Wall thickness (T) < 8 mm Wall thickness (T) > 8 mm 0.20 T + 0.5 T/3 T/6

Weld finish Finish A

Finish B for D < 114.3 mm 0.06 T + 0.3 Finish B for D > 114.3 mm 0.05 T + 0.5

Finish C 0.15 Finish A - Internal and external weld bead not removed Finish B - External weld bead removed internal weld bead not removed Finish C - Internal and external weld bead rolled or removed Finish A shall not be used on HF welded tube

Tolerances to BS EN 10297-2 for seamless stainless steel tubes


Introduction
Unlike the standards for flat and long products, the standards for stainless steel tube products contain information on tolerances. This is possibly because the tolerance requirements for tubes are simpler to define.

Straightness
OD Deviation from straightness on tube length L > 33.7 mm 0.0020 L < 33.7 mm Agreed at time of enquiry and order

Outside Diameter (D) and Wall Thickness (T)


Ovality is included in tolerances for outside diameter. Eccentricity is covered in tolerances for wall thickness.Unless otherwise agreed at the time of the enquiry and order the following tolerances shall apply: Tolerance on T Process Tolerance on D Route Tolerance Class Tolerance Limits Tolerance Class Tolerance Limits Hot D finished 1 Cold D finished 3 1.5% or 0.75 mm whichever is T1 the greater 15% or 0.6 mm whichever is the greater

0.75% or 0.3 10% or 0.2 mm whichever is T3 mm whichever is the greater the greater If agreed at time of enquiry and order the following tolerances can apply. The purchaser can specify whether the tighter tolerance is required on D or T or both: Tolerance on T Process Tolerance on D Route Tolerance Class Tolerance Limits Tolerance Class Tolerance Limits Hot D finished 2 Cold D finished 4 1% or 0.5 mm whichever is T2 the greater 0.5% or 0.1 mm whichever is T4 the greater 12.5% or 0.4 mm whichever is the greater 7.5% or 0.15 mm whichever is the greater

Length
The tubes shall be supplied in random lengths unless otherwise agreed at the time of the enquiry and order. The purchaser shall specify the range of random lengths to be supplied. If exact lengths are required the tolerances given below shall apply: Length L (mm) L < 6000 L > 12000 Tolerance (mm) +5/-0 by agreement

6000 < L < 12000 +10/-0
