Up-to-date lists and bibliographical references concerning such national standards may be obtained on application to the Central Secretariat or to any CEN member. This European Standard exists in three official versions (English, French, German). A version in any other language made by translation under the responsibility of a CEN member into its own language and notified to the Central Secretariat has the same status as the official versions.

EN 754-6:1995 2 © BSI 12-1998 Foreword This European Standard has been drawn up by CEN/TC 132, Aluminium and aluminium alloys, whose Secretariat is held by the Association Française de Normalisation (AFNOR). Within its programme of work, Technical Committee CEN/TC 132 entrusted CEN/TC 132/WG 5, Extruded and drawn products, to work out the following standard: EN 754-6, Aluminium and aluminium alloys Cold drawn rod/bar and tube Part 6: Hexagonal bars, tolerances on dimensions and form. This standard is part of a set of eight standards. The other standards deal with: EN 754-1, Aluminium and aluminium alloys Cold drawn rod/bar and tube Part 1: Technical conditions for inspection and delivery. EN 754-2, Aluminium and aluminium alloys Cold drawn rod/bar and tube Part 2: Mechanical properties. EN 754-3, Aluminium and aluminium alloys Cold drawn rod/bar and tube Part 3: Round bars, tolerances on dimensions and form.

EN 754-8, Aluminium and aluminium alloys Cold drawn rod/bar and tube Part 8: Porthole tubes, tolerances on dimensions and form. CEN/TC 132 met on 11 and 12 May 1993 in Paris and agreed on the text to be submitted to CEN members for formal vote. This European Standard shall be given the status of a national standard, either by publication of an identical text or by endorsement, at the latest by May 1996, and conflicting national standards shall be withdrawn at the latest by May 1996. The following countries were represented at that meeting: Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom. According to the common CEN/CENELEC Rules, the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.

EN 754-6:1995 © BSI 12-19983 1 Scope This Part of EN 754 specifies the tolerances on dimensions and form for aluminium and aluminium alloy cold drawn hexagonal bars having widths across flats in the range from 3 mm up to and including 80 mm. 2 Tolerances on dimensions and form 2.1 Width across flats The tolerances on width across flats are specified in Table 1. Table 1 Tolerances on width across flats 2.2 Corner radii Maximum corner radii are specified in Table 2. Table 2 Maximum corner radii 2.3 Convexity concavity The convexity concavity tolerances for hexagonal bar shall be included within the width across flats tolerances. 2.4 Straightness Deviations from straightness, hs and ht, shall be measured as shown in Figure 1 with the bar placed on a horizontal baseplate so that its mass decreases the deviation. Straightness tolerances are specified in Table 3. For bars with width across flats less than 10 mm, the straightness tolerances shall be agreed upon between purchaser and supplier. The straightness tolerances apply to bars with width across flats 10 mm and greater in all tempers except O and T × 51. If a straightness tolerance is required for either O or T × 51 temper, it shall be agreed between purchaser and supplier.

BS 754-6:1995 4 © BSI 1998 2.5 Twist The twist measurement shall be carried out as shown in Figure 2. The twist tolerances are specified in Table 4. For bars with width across flats less than 10 mm, the twist tolerances shall be agreed upon between purchaser and supplier. The twist tolerances apply to bars with width across flats 10 mm and greater in all tempers except O and T × 51. If a twist tolerance is required for either O or T × 51 temper, it shall be agreed between purchaser and supplier. Table 4 Twist tolerances 2.6 Length If fixed lengths are to be supplied, this shall be stated on the order. The fixed length tolerances are specified in Table 5. Table 5 Fixed length tolerances If no fixed or minimum length is specified in the order, hexagonal drawn bars may be delivered in random lengths. The actual lengths and tolerances on random length shall be agreed between purchaser and supplier. 2.7 Squareness of cut ends The squareness of cut ends shall be within half of the fixed length tolerance range (Table 5) for both fixed and random length, e.g. for a fixed length tolerance of mm, the squareness of cut ends shall be within 5 mm.
