The pipe end is considered the part of a 100 mm length from each tube extremity.
For seamless pipes, the tolerances applied for t 25 and those applied to greater thicknesses must be agreed upon.
For pipes with D 219.1 mm, the diameter and ovality tolerances can be determined using the following formula:
Di = D 2t
Di: Internal diameter
D: External diameter
t: Nominal wall thickness or by measuring the internal rather than the external diameter

MASS
The mass per unit length kg/m is calculated using the following formula:
M=t(D - t) x C
LEGEND:
M = Mass per unit length (kg/m)
t: Nominal wall thickness (mm)
D: External diameter (mm)
C: 0,0246615
The mass tolerance for each pipe must not differ from the nominal mass of +10% / - 3.5%;
any further restrictions are those defined in the standard.

STRAIGHTNESS
The permissible deviation on the total length of each pipe must be 0.2 % L (single pipe length).
The maximum permissable deviation in relation to a 1-metre pipe section must be 4 mm.

MARKING
Identification plate attached to the pipe bundle for D 48.3 mm, and with markings painted on
one end for D> 48.3 mm, containing the following information:
- Name or trademark of the manufacturer
- Diameter and wall thickness
- Grade
- PSL1 or PSL2
- Reproduction process
- Length
- Heat number
- Any additional requirements

CERTIFICATION
UNI EN 10204
SIZE RANGE
ASME B 36.10
