The diameter of a bar, measured at any point at least 100 mm from the ends, must be within the tolerances indicated in the table. Unless otherwise agreed, shearing may deform the ends of the bars.

Straightness tolerances for hot rolled bars (UNI EN 10060:2004)

Nominal diameter (mm)Tolerance (mm)
d ≤ 25
25 < d ≤ 80
80 < d ≤ 250
Not fixed
q ≤ 0,4% di L
q ≤ 0,25% di L

Note: the straightness must be measured over the entire length of the bar.


Circularity tolerances for hot rolled bars (UNI EN 10060:2004)

The circularity or ovalization error is the difference between the largest and smallest diameter of the same section. It must be measured at least 100 mm from the ends of the bar and cannot exceed 75% of the diameter tolerance.

*= range not covered by the standard EN 10278.  The k13 tolerance range is used by Rodacciai for the “iron metallurgy peeled” products made of stainless steel (1X execution). This deviation is greater than the nominal dimension.
In the tolerance “h”, the dimensions are all less than the nominal dimension. The maximum value coincides with the nominal dimension itself, while the extent of the tolerance range can be gleaned from the table.
The measurement of the actual diameter of the bar must be carried out at least 150 mm from the ends, as established by EN 10278.

Circularity tolerances for cold-finished products in bars (UNI EN 10278:1999)

The circularity error cannot be greater than half of the specified tolerance and in no case can be greater than the upper tolerance limit.
