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

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.
