Caution should be observed in using the Rockwell test on thin material,as the results may be affected by the thickness
45、 of specimen. For thickness under 0.050 in. (1.27 mm) the use of the Rockwell superficial or the Vickers hardness test issuggested. For hardness conversions for nickel and high-nickel alloys see Hardness Conversion Tables E140.TABLE 4 Permissible Variations in Outside Diameter and Wall Thickness of
46、Condenser and Heat Exchanger TubesNOTE 1The tolerances in the table apply to individual measurements of outside diameter and include out-of-roundness (ovality), and apply to allmaterials and all conditions, except that for thin wall tubes having a nominal wall of 3 % or less of the outside diameter,
47、 the mean outside diameter shallcomply with the permissible variations of the above table and individual measurements (including ovality) shall conform to the plus and minus valuesof the table with the values increased by12 % of the nominal outside diameter.NOTE 2EccentricityThe variation in wall th
