BS EN 754-8:2016

This standard BS EN 754-8:2016 Aluminium and aluminium alloys. Cold drawn rod/bar and tube is classified in these ICS categories:

• 77.150.10 Aluminium products

This European Standard specifies the tolerances on dimensions and form for aluminium and aluminium alloy cold drawn porthole tubes with an outside diameter ( OD) from 3 mm to 350 mm (round tube, see Figure 1) or with a cross section contained within a circumscribing circle ( CD) from 8 mm to 300 mm (other than round tube, see Figure 2), supplied in straight lengths.

This document only applies to cold drawn tube for general engineering applications made in the following alloys:

• EN AW‑1050A , EN AW‑1200 ;

• EN AW‑3003 , EN AW‑3103 ;

• EN AW‑5005 , EN AW‑5005A , EN AW‑5049 , EN AW‑5251 , EN AW‑5052 ;

• EN AW‑6012 , EN AW‑6060 , EN AW‑6061 , EN AW‑6262 , EN AW‑6262A ;

• EN AW‑6063 , EN AW‑6063A , EN AW‑6065 , EN AW‑6082 ;

• EN AW‑7020 .

The temper designations used in this part are according to EN 515 .

This document only applies to tube produced by the porthole/bridge method of extrusion only (and then cold drawn to the final dimensions).

This document does not apply to:

• cold drawn tubes produced by the seamless, die/mandrel method ( EN 754‑7 ),

• tubes delivered in coils ( EN 13958 ),

• coiled tubes cut to length ( EN 13958 ).
