Examples of hollow rod cross-sections are shown in Figure 1. SIST EN 12168:2011
Figure 1 — Examples of hollow rod cross-sections 3.2 deviation from circular form difference between the maximum and the minimum outside diameters measured at any one cross-section of the product NOTE Adapted from EN 12163:2011. 3.3 eccentricity difference between the maximum and the minimum wall thickness, measured in the same cross-section perpendicular to the axis of the hollow rod, expressed as a percentage of the sum of the maximum and minimum wall thicknesses (smax. and smin.): e = 100.min.max.min.max×+−ssss NOTE For polygons, wall thickness is measured perpendicular to the mid-points of the flat outside surfaces. 4 Designations 4.1 Material 4.1.1 General The material is designated either by symbol or number (see Tables 1 to 4). 4.1.2 Symbol The material symbol designation is based on the designation system given in ISO 1190-1.

Material condition for a product which is stress relieved. NOTE Products in the M or H. material condition may be specially processed (i.e. mechanically or thermally stress relieved) in order to lower the residual stress level to improve the resistance to stress corrosion and the dimensional stability on machining [see 5 l), 5 m) and 8.4]. Except when the suffix S is used, material condition is designated by only one of the above designations. 4.3 Product The product designation provides a standardized pattern of designation from which a rapid and unequivocal description of a product is conveyed in communication. It provides mutual comprehension at the international level with regard to products which meet the requirements of the relevant European Standard. The product designation is no substitute for the full content of the standard. The product designation for products to this standard shall consist of: a) denomination (hollow rod); b) number of this European Standard (EN 12168); c) material designation, either symbol or number (see Tables 1 to 4); d) material condition designation (see Tables 5 to 8); e) external and/or internal cross-sectional shape (the following designations shall be used as appropriate: RND for round, SQR for square, RCT for rectangular, HEX for hexagonal, OCT for octagonal, PFL for profile); f) nominal cross-sectional dimensions (see NOTE 1 to Clause 5) or, for profiles, the number of the profile or a fully dimensioned and toleranced drawing, and: 1) tolerance class A, B or C added to the external dimension (see Table 9); and/or 2) tolerance class A or B added to the bore diameter (see Table 11); g) wall thickness (the following designation shall be used for wall thickness: WT) (see Table 10); SIST EN 12168:2011
