[MW:10808] Re: out of straightness tolerance for B31.3 piping

Hi,

A 358 is specifies about variations in dimensions as mentioned below.
Refer 7.1.3 ??

7. Permissible Variations in Dimensions
7.1 Permissible Variations—The dimensions at any point in a length of
pipe shall not exceed the following:
7.1.1 Outside Diameter—Based on circumferential measurement, 60.5 % of
the specified outside diameter.
7.1.2 Out-of-Roundness—Difference between major and minor outside
diameters, 1 %.
7.1.3 Alignment—Using a 10-ft or 3-m straightedge placed so that both
ends are in contact with the pipe, 1⁄8in. [3 mm].
7.1.4 Thickness—The minimum wall thickness at any point in the pipe
shall not be more than 0.01 in. [0.3 mm] under the nominal thickness.

Other code A530 (Standard Specification for General Requirements for
Specialized Carbon and Alloy Steel Pipe) is specifies "Straightness
Tolerances" and mentioned in table-3. (But this is not applicable for
your case) - For your info only.

I just want to throw some light on your query !!!

Cheers!

Raj
