Tolerances

~ The ISO tolerances shown are taken from ISO 286.

 

~ All other tolerances shown in this document are  based upon the relevant part's of the applicable EN Standard's.

 

~ For tolerances on Rolled Edge Flat Bar please refer to separate Datasheet

 

Diameter - Smooth Turned

(These are H10 tolerances, which are 'all minus' tolerances )

Diameter (mm) Tolerance (mm)
18 to 30 +0 / -0.084
31 to 50 +0 / -0.100
51 to 79 +0 / -0.120

Diameter - Rough Turned

(These are 'all plus' tolerances)

Diameter (mm) Tolerance (mm)
75 to 150 -0 / +1.5
151 to 225 -0 / +2.0
226 to 410 -0 / +3.0

Diameter - Bright Drawn

.

Note

These are H9 Tolerances
H9 Tolerances are 'all minus' tolerances:

ISO 286 Tolerances in mm

EXAMPLES:

H = All Minus Tolerance  e.g. 45mm dia. H9 = +0 / -0.062

J = Tolerance Divided  e.g. 45mm dia. J9 = +/- 0.031

K = All Plus Tolerance e.g. 45mm dia. K9 = +0.062/ -0

( The K tolerance is usually only applied to larger diameter bars - over 75mm

 

H8 = Precision Ground

H9 = Bright Drawn

H10 = Smooth Turned

Straightness Tolerances for Bright Bars

Taken from BS EN 10278:1999, applicable to Bright Bars only.

 

Method of measuring deviation - Preferred Method B.1 from BS EN 10278:

1. The bar shall be supported on a suitable surface so as to eliminate or minimise sagging.

2. A 1 metre long straight edge shall be placed on the surface of the bar at any position along it's length.  No part of the straight edge shall be within 150mm of the ends of the bar.

3. Straightness shall be determined by measuring the gap between the bar and the straight edge by suitable means such as a feeler guage.

 

The following table indicates:

DEVIATION FROM STRAIGHTNESS

Product Dimension Max Deviation in mm within a 1mtr length measured at least 150mm from either end of bar
Round 1.0mm
Square & Hexagon < or = 75mm 1.0mm
Square & Hexagon > 75mm 1.5mm
Flat Width < 120mm On Width: 1.5mm
Flat Width < 120mm On Thickness: 2.0mm
Flat Width > or = 120mm On Width: 2.0mm
Flat Width/Thickness < 10.1 On Thickness: 2.5mm
Flat Width > or = 120mm On Width: 2.5mm
Flat Width/Thickness > or = 10.1 On Thickness: 3.0mm
