Wide Flange Rolling Tolerances (US)

Wide Flange Rolling Tolerances (US)

Wide Flange Rolling Tolerances (US)

(OP)
I have gone through ASTM A6 a few times and for the life of me I can't locate the tolerance on thickness for flanges and webs of wideflange shapes. Can anyone point me to where they are?

RE: Wide Flange Rolling Tolerances (US)

Because there are so many web and flange thicknesses I don't believe dimensional tolerances are specified. What is specified:

"Area and Weight Variations: + 2.5% theoretical or specified amount"

See the "Standard Mill Practice" section of the Manual of Steel Construction.

Thank you sir. I eventually found the footnote in A6 that confirms it, no specified thickness tolerances, just weight
