(mm) Tolerance, in. (mm) Up to 18 (457), incl 1 16 (1.6) Over 18 to 30 (457 to 762), incl 3 32 (2.4) Over 30 to 36 (762 to 914), incl 1 8 (3.2) S1.2.2 Diameter of Tube in U-Bent Section-Neither the major, nor the minor outside diameter of the tube at any one cross section included within the points of tangency of the bend shall deviate from the nominal diameter prior to bending by more than 10 %. S1.2.3 Wall Thickness of Tube in U-Bent Section-The wall thickness of the tube at the apex of the U-bent section shall be not less than the value determined by the following equation: TF T2R / 2R D where: TF = thickness after bending, in. (mm), T = minimum permissible thickness of tube wall prior to bending, in. (mm), R = centerline bend radius, in. (mm), and D = nominal outside diameter of the tube, in. (mm). When specifed by the purchaser, proof of conformance to this requirement shall be obtained by bending a tube specimen, representative of the material offered, to the scheduled radius of bend, cutting the tube at the apex of the bend, measuring the tube wall at the cross section of this apex section, and comparing the measured value with the calculated value of TF. S1.2.4 Length of U-Bend Tube Legs-The length of the tube legs as measured from the point of tangency of the bend and the tube leg to the end of the tube leg shall not be less than that specifed, but may exceed the specifed values by the following amounts: L), ft (m) Tolerance (all Plus), in. (mm) Up to 20 (6.1), incl 1 8 (3.2) Over 20 to 30 (6.1 to 9.1), incl 5 32 (4.0) Over 30 to 60 (9.1 to 18.3), incl 1 4 (6.4) Over 60 (18.3) 3 8 (10.0) S1.2.4.1 The difference in the length of the tube legs shall not be greater than 1 8 in.
