Tolerances for taper of plasma cut bolt holes in structural beams/parts?

Tolerances for taper of plasma cut bolt holes in structural beams/parts?

Tolerances for taper of plasma cut bolt holes in structural beams/parts?

(OP)
Was trying to find an AISC spec or other structural steel code that contains a tolerance for taper in plasma table cut holes in base plates, connection plates, etc?

Can anyone point me in the right direction?


Thanks,
Jeff

RE: Tolerances for taper of plasma cut bolt holes in structural beams/parts?

Maybe check out the RCSC Bolt Council's document '2014 Specification for Structural Joints Using High-Strength Bolts' here: Link

'Section 3.3 Bolt Holes' discusses thermally cut holes without specific reference to taper tolerances:



Or, the AISC 'Steel Solutions Center' is a good resource too - Link - and they are very responsive to email questions too.
