Silicon: When silicon is required, the following ranges and limits are commonly used:
STANDARD STEEL DESIGNATIONS SILICON RANGES OR LIMITS
Up to 1015 excl. 0.10 Max.
1015 to 1025 incl. 0.10 Max., 0.10/0.20, or 0.15/0.30
Over 1025 0.10/0.20, or 0.15/0.30
Copper: Can be added to a standard steel.

Lead: When lead is required as an added element to a standard steel, a range of 0.15 to 0.35 per
cent, inclusive is generally used. Such a steel is identified by inserting the letter “L” between the
second and third numerals of the AISI number, e.g., 10 L 45.

PERMISSIBLE VARIATIONS IN MASS
On the basis that the density of rolled steel is 7850 Kg/m 3, the actual mass of an individual length
of hollow structural section shall not deviate from the published mass by more than 3.5 or +10 per
cent.

PERMISSIBLE VARIATIONS IN WALL THICKNESS

Wall thickness shall not deviate by more than ±10 per cent from the nominal wall thickness
specified, except that the weld seam of welded sections may overrun the maximum thickness
tolerance. In the case of rectangular sections, wall thickness shall be measured at the center of the flat.

PERMISSIBLE VARIATIONS IN CROSS-SECTIONAL DIMENSIONS

Outside dimensions measured across the flats or diameter at positions at least 50 mm from either
end of a piece, including an allowance for convexity or concavity, shall not vary from the specified
dimensions of the section by more than the tolerances prescribed below.

For rectangular sections, corners shall be square (90°) within ± F for hot formed sections and 2° for cold

and the average slope of the sides shall be the basis for determination.

PERMISSIBLE VARIATION IN STRAIGHTNESS

Deviation from straightness in millimetres shall not exceed-
Total length in millimetres divided by 500.

PERMISSIBLE TWIST
Tolerances for twist for rectangular or other non-circular profiles are prescribed as follows. Twist of a
rectangular section may be measured by holding down the side of one end of the section on a flat
surface and noting how high above the surface is either corner at the opposite end of that side.

PERMISSIBLE VARIATIONS FROM FLATNESS FOR CARBON STEEL –
Rectangular Sheared Plates, Universal Mill Plates, Circular and Sketch Plates.

Flatness denotes the deviation of the top or bottom surface from a horizontal plane when the plate is
resting on a flat surface. This table shows flatness tolerances when flatness is measured in the length
direction and also when the flatness is measured in the width direction as explained below.

1) Flatness Variations for length. The longer dimension specified is considered to be the length, and permissible variations in flatness along
the length should not exceed the tabular amount for the specified width in plates up to 4000 mm in length or in any 4000 mm of longer
plates.
2) Flatness Tolerances for Width. The flatness variation across the width should not exceed the tabular amount for the specified width.
3) When the longer dimension is under 900 mm the permissible variation in flatness should not exceed 6 mm.
4) The permissible variations in the above table apply to plates that have a specified minimum tensile strength of not more than 400.MPa or
equivalent hardness. For plates specified to a higher minimum tensile strength or hardness, the limits given in the table are customarily
increased by 50 percent.
5) The above table and notes cover the permissible variations for flatness of circular and sketch plates, based on the maximum dimensions of
those plates.

PERMISSIBLE VARIATIONS IN WAVINESS

Rectangular Plates, Universal Mill Plates, Circular and Sketch Plates
Waviness tolerance as a percentage of flatness tolerance when number of waves in 4000 mm is:
1 2 3 4 5 6
100% 80% 60% 50% 40% 25%
1) Waviness denotes the maximum deviation of the surface of the plate from a plane parallel to the surface of the point of
measurement and contiguous to the surface of the plate at each of the two adjacent wave peaks, when the plate is resting
on a flat horizontal surface as measured in an increment of less than 4000 mm in length.
2) The waviness tolerance is a function of the flatness tolerance as obtained from the preceding table on this page, as is
appropriate.
