Tolerances on cross sections

Drawn round, hexagon and square bars

Drawn round bars are covered by class h10, except for any supplied in the quenched and tempered condition, (i.e. martensitic stainless grades), which are covered by class h11 Hexagon and square bars are covered by class h11 in sections sizes up to 80mm and class h12 in section sizes over 80mm. Ground finished products are covered by class h9.

Out of round (ovality)

The standard states that the maximum deviation from “out of round” shall not be more than half the specified tolerance, but never above the upper limit of the tolerance.

Flat bars

Drawn flat bars tolerances are covered are shown in the tables below.

Width Deviation ISO 286-2 class

over 18 up to 30 0 -0.13 h11

Note:

All deviations on thickness are +0. These deviations only apply to steels with carbon contents up to 0.20%. Over this limit the deviation is increased by 50%.

Tolerances on straightness

The standard covers covers both stainless and non-stainless steel families. Only the tolerances relating to stainless steels are shown in the following table.

Product form Nominal dimension Deviation
Rounds - 1.0
Squares and hexagons up to 75 1.0
over 75 1.5
Flats width below 120 1.5 on width / 2.0 on thickness
width at or over 120 and w/t below 10:1 2.0 on width / 2.5 on thickness
width at and over 120 and w/t at or over 10:1 2.5 on width / 3.0 on thickness
