A
Base inside diameter is a minimum pipe inside diameter derived by subtracting a statistical tolerance package from the pipe’s average inside diameter. The tolerance
package is defined as the square root of the sum of squared standard manufacturing tolerances.
Average inside diameter = average outside diameter − 2(1.06)t
Tolerance package 5 œA 2 12 B 2 1C 2
where:
t = minimum wall thickness (Table 1),
A = outside diameter tolerance (Table 1),
B = excess wall thickness tolerance = 0.06t, and
C = out-of-roundness tolerance.
The values for C were derived statistically from field measurement data. Supporting data can be obtained from ASTM International Headquarters. Request RR:F17-1009.
The values for C are given as follows for various sizes of pipe:
