Flash-in-Tubing is produced only to outside diameter tolerances and wall thickness tolerances only, and the height of the inside welding flash does not exceed the wall thickness or .094 inch, whichever is less.
Flash controlled to 0.010 inch maximum tubing consists of tubing over .625 inch outside diameter which is commonly produced to outside diameter tolerances and wall thickness tolerances only, in which the height of the remaining inside flash is controlled not to exceed 0.010 inch.
Flash controlled to 0.005 inch maximum tubing is produced to outside diameter tolerances and wall thickness tolerances, inside diameter tolerances and wall thickness tolerances, or outside diameter tolerances and inside diameter tolerances, in which the height of the remaining flash is controlled not to exceed 0.005 inch.
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.
Ovality – The ovality shall be within the tolerances except when the wall thickness is less than 3 % of the outside diameter. In such cases the ovality may be 50 % greater than the outside tolerances but the mean outside diameter shall be within the specified tolerance.

* Measured at corners at least 2 inches from the end of the tubing.
Convexity and concavity: Tubes having two parrelel sides are measured in the center of the flat sides for convexity and concavity. This tolerance applies to the specific size determined at the corners, and is measured on the following basis:
