Dimensional Tolerance

ASTM A688 U bend tube tolerance of outside should be accordance with specification A1016/M, bent portion of U tubes for R =2 X D or greater, tolerance shall deviate from the nominal diameter prior to bending by more than 10 %, if less than 2 X D is specified, tolerances could be greater, minimum wall thickness shall not exceed +20 % − 0, average wall thickness are 10 % of the nominal wall thickness, bent area wall tolerance shall not be less than value determined by the equation: 4RT/(4R+D).

Tube Leg Length Tolerance

Leg Length, Ft (M)	Plus Tolerance, In (Mm)
<= 20 (6)	1/8  (3.2)
>20(6), <=30(9)	5/32  (4.0)
>30 (9), <=40 (12.2)	3/16  (4.8)

Squareness Of Ends Tolerance

Tube OD, In, (Mm)	Tolerance, In, (Mm)
<=5.8 (15.9)	0.010 (0.25)
>5.8 (15.9), <=1 (25.4)	0.016 (0.4)

Compared to ASTM A249/A268 specification, ASTM A688 requires more and specific tests to ensure high quality tube, and more tighter tolerances.
