Outside Dimensions
Largest Outside Dimension 2-1/2 and under Over 2-1/2 to 3-1/2 inclusive Over 3-1/2 to 5-1/2 inclusive Over 5-1/2 Tolerance* 0.020 0.025 0.030 1%

*Tolerances include allowance for convexity or concavity. For rectangular tubing having a ratio of outside large to small flat dimension less than 1.5, and for square tubing, the tolerance on small flat dimension shall be identical to the large flat dimension tolerance. For rectangular tubing having a ratio of outside large to small flat dimension in the range of 1.5 to 3.0 inclusive, the tolerance on small flat dimension shall be 1.5 times the large flat dimension tolerance. For rectangular tubing having a ratio of outside large to small flat dimension greater than 3.0, the tolerance on small flat dimension shall be 2.0 times the large flat dimension tolerance.
