Remarks
1. The deviation in wall thickness means the ratio of the difference between the maximum and the minimum of the measured thickness of a wall in the same section to the specified wall thickness. This shall not be applied to pipes under 5.6mm in wall thickness.
2. When the length of circumference is used as a basis for the tolerances, either the measured value of the length of circumference itself or the outside diameter derived from the measured value may be used as the criteria. In both cases, the same value 【 0.5 % shall be applied as the tolerances. The outside diameter (D) and the length of circumference (l) shall be calculated reversibly from the following formula.
