Fabrication Tolerances 51G14r1

This document provides guidelines for fabrication tolerances and acceptance criteria for quality control personnel conducting inspections of structural steel products. It outlines tolerances for dimensions of rolled sections, built-up members, box sections, lengths, straightness, camber, sweep, flatness, parallelism, angular dimensions, and holes. The tolerances are based on reference standards like ASTM and BS codes. Project-specific requirements will supersede these guidelines if tolerances are defined in the project scope.

Guidelines for Fabrication Tolerances / Acceptance Criteria for Page No.

: 1 of 6
Inspection & Testing Revision : 1.0 / 26.04.2008

Purpose:
To have a common understanding of fabrication tolerances / acceptance criteria amongst all Quality Control
Personnel assisting them in carrying out their day-to-day inspection and test activities.

Guideline:
This guideline provides the general fabrication tolerances and acceptance criteria for various members of the
Structural Steel Products.
Implementation of these tolerances on various projects can only be applied, when: -
• Such tolerances are not specified by the customer in their project technical specifications.
• The Design / Construction code of the project is the same as that specified in the Reference Standard of this
guideline

The tolerances / acceptance criteria specified in the LATEST edition / addendum of the APPLICABLE CODE shall be
referred for final acceptance.

Where fabrication tolerance / acceptance criteria is clearly defined in the scope of project, this guideline shall be
superseded by project requirements.
