National foreword
This British standard has been prepared by Technid Committee ISW8 Sta.inless sted
tubes -Dzmensions, tolemmes and conventional masses per unit length, and is the
English ianguage version of EN IS0 1127 : 1996, published by the European Committee
for Standardization (CEN). It is identical with IS0 1127 : 1992,prepared by ISO/rC 5,
Ferrous metal pipes and metallic fittings,of the International Organization for
Standardization (BO) with the active participation of the UK.

It supersedes ce-

specjficationsin BS 3600 : 1976 which are deleted by amendment.

Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity

from legal obligations.

Tolerance

The outside diameters and thicknesses of the tubes

specified in this International Standard have been
selected from I S 0 4200. If thicknesses greater than
14,2 mrn are needed, they should be chosen from
IS0 4200.

4 Tolerances
The tolerances permitted on the outside diameter
and thickness of the tubes result from the method
of manufacture. the steel types and the heat treatment. The tolerances shall be selected from the
values given in tables 1 and 2.
