ASTM A108 Tolerances

The document provides specifications for tolerances related to the dimensions, shape, and surface quality of cold-finished steel bars. It includes tables with tolerance values for various steel grades and bar types (e.g. flats, rounds, squares) based on the carbon content, dimensions, and whether the bars have been quenched/tempered. The tolerances cover acceptable deviations for dimensions, straightness, and maximum depth and percentage of surface defects.

Values intended for max depth obtained with good manufacturing pratice. Occasionally, bars that have surface discontinuity that exceed
these limits are accepted. For critical applications, customer may require specific tests before shipment (e.g. eddy current test).

The values are applicable to all quenched and tempered or normalized and tempered steel grades at max HB 302 before cold finishing;
furthermore, to all stress relieved or annealed steel grades after cold finishing. Straightness tolerances are not applicable to bars with HB over 302.
Straightness tolerance is determined as follows: a bar is placed on a horizontal base and the arc is measured by thickness gauges.
It is well known that straightness can deteriorate in case of ill treatment.
To mantain it, extreme care is due in every successive stage. Sometimes specific tolerances are requested for carbon or alloyed steels;
in this case, the customer informs the suppliers of the requested tolerances.

Tolerances are usually specified as (-)


Thickness should be measured at a distance of 12 mm from bar extremity.
Cross-section should be measured at a distance of 25 mm from bar extremity.
Round bars diameter should be measured at a distance of 150 mm from bar extremity except for tailor made bars, whose dicumeter should be measured
at a distance of 10 mm from bar extremity.
