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.
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

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
