Tubing produced to Outside diameter and Inside diameter.

Ovality – The ovality shall be within the tolerances except when the wall thickness is less than 3 % of the outside diameter. In such cases see below.

The additional ovality shall be as follows but the mean outside diameter shall be within the specified tolerance:

Outside Diameter, Inches (mm) Additional Ovality Tolerance, inches (mm)
Up to 2 (50.8), inclusive 0.010 (0.25)
Over 2 to 3 (50.8 to 76.2), inclusive 0.015 (0.38)
Over 3 to 4 (76.2 to 101.6), inclusive 0.020 (0.51)
Over 4 to 5 (101.6 to 127.0), inclusive 0.025 (0.64)
Over 5 to 6 (127.0 to 152.4), inclusive 0.030 (0.76)
Over 6 to 7 (152.4 to 177.8), inclusive 0.035 (0.89)
Over 7 to 8 (177.8 to 203.2), inclusive 0.040 (1.02)
Over 8 to 9 (203.2 to 228.6), inclusive 0.045 (1.14)
Over 9 to 10 (228.6 to 254.0), inclusive 0.050 (1.27)
Over 10 to 11 (254.0 to 279.4), inclusive 0.055 (1.40)
Over 11 to 12 (279.4 to 304.8), inclusive 0.060 (1.52)
Over 12 to 12.5 (304.8 to 317.5), inclusive 0.065 (1.65)

Straightness – The straightness tolerance for round tubing is 0.030 in./ 3 ft (0.76 mm/1 m) lengths to 8.000 in. (203 mm) outside diameter. For 8.000 in. outside diameter and above, straightness tolerance is 0.060 in./3 ft (1.52 mm/1 m) lengths.
