Dimensions and Permissible Variation10.1 Units of Measure:10.1.1 SelectionThis specification requires that the purchaser selects the units of

44、measure (SI or inch-pound) to be used forproduct certification. In the absence of a stated selection of units on the purchase order, this selection may be expressed by thepurchaser in several alternate forms listed in order of precedence.10.1.1.1 If the purchaser and supplier have a history of using

45、 specific units, these units shall continue to be certified untilexpressly changed by the purchaser.10.1.1.2 In the absence of historic precedence, if the units used to define the product on the purchasers PO, purchase order (PO),specification, and engineering drawing are consistent, these units sha

46、ll be used by the supplier for product certificationcertification.10.1.1.3 If the purchasers selection of units is unclear, the units of measure shall be agreed upon between purchaser andsupplier.10.1.2 Conversion of UnitsIf the suppliers test equipment does not report in the selected units, the tes

47、t equipment units maybe converted to the selected units for certification purposes. Accurate arithmetic conversion and proper use of significant digitsshould be observed when performing this conversion.ASTM IEEE/ASTM SI 10 provides guidelines for the use of SI units.AnnexA of IEEE/ASTM SI 10 provide

48、s conversion tables and Annex B of IEEE/ASTM SI 10 provides rules for conversion andsignificant digits.10.2 Permissible Variation in Dimensions:10.2.1 OD and ID:10.2.1.1 Permissible variations of OD and ID from the nominal dimension on the purchase order or engineering drawing arelisted in Table 2.1

49、0.2.1.2 OD may be measured by hand micrometer, linear variable differential transducer (LVDT), coordinate measuringmachine (CMM), or laser micrometer, or other non-contact method.10.2.2 Wall Thickness:10.2.2.1 The range of total wall variation (including concentricity and average wall variation) shall not exceed 14 % (67 %)of nominal wall thickness.10.2.2.2 Concentricity shall not exceed 10 % (65 %) of average wall thickness for tubing with nominal wall thickness greater
