Aluminium and aluminium alloys - HF seam welded tubes - Part 4: Tolerances on dimensions and form for square, rectangular and shaped tubes
This Part of prEN 1592 specifies the tolerances on dimensions and form of square, rectangular and shaped HF seam welded tubes. These tubes are manufactured from flat rolled aluminium alloy strip longitudinally welded in a continuous process by the passage of an electric current across the abutting edges without the addition of filler metal. This standard also applies to tubes manufactured from aluminium alloy strip which is painted, lacquered or anodized prior to forming.
Aluminium und Aluminiumlegierungen - HF-längsnahtgeschweißte Rohre - Teil 4: Grenzabmaße und Formtoleranzen für quadratische, rechteckige und geformte Rohre
Dieser Teil von prEN 1592 legt die Grenßabmaße und Formtoleranzen für HF-längsnahtgeschweißte Rohre mit quadratischem, rechteckigem oder geformtem Querschnitt fest. Diese Rohre werden aus kaltgewalztem Band aus Aluminiumlegierungen hergestellt, das kontinuierlich durch einen Stromdurchgang zwischen den beiden gegenüberliegenden Kanten ohne Einsatz von Schweißzusatzwerkstoffen längsnahtgeschweißt wird. Er gilt auch für Rohre aus vorlackiertem, vorbeschichtetem oder voranodisiertem Band aus Aluminiumlegierungen.
Aluminium et alliages d'aluminium - Tubes électrosoudés HF - Partie 4: Tolérances sur dimensions et forme des tubes a section carrée, rectangulaire ou profilée
La présente partie du prEN 1592 spécifie les tolérances sur forme et dimensions des tubes électrosoudés HF à section carrée, rectangulaire ou profilée. Ces tubes sont fabriqués à partir de bandes laminées à plat en alliage d'aluminium, soudées longitudinalement en continu par passage d'un courant électrique entre les deux rives mises en regard, sans utilisation de métal d'apport. La présente norme s'applique également aux tubes fabriqués à partir de bandes en alliage d'aluminium peintes, laquées ou anodisées avant formage.

Overview
SIST EN 1592-4:1998 is a European standard developed by CEN that specifies tolerances on dimensions and form for square, rectangular, and shaped aluminium tubes produced by HF (high frequency) seam welding. This part of the EN 1592 series focuses on tubes made from flat rolled aluminium alloy strips that are longitudinally welded in a continuous process using electric current without filler metal. The standard also covers tubes that have been painted, lacquered, or anodized before forming, ensuring consistency in dimensional quality across various surface finishes.
This standard is essential for manufacturers, quality control engineers, and designers working with aluminium alloy tubes, providing clear guidelines on acceptable deviations in size and shape to maintain product reliability and interoperability.
Key Topics
- Dimensional Tolerances: Defines permissible limits on tube widths, heights, wall thicknesses, and lengths for square, rectangular, and custom-shaped aluminium tubes.
- Form Tolerances: Addresses allowable deviations in straightness, squareness, and surface irregularities of the tubes to ensure structural integrity and proper fit.
- Manufacturing Process: Applies to tubes formed by high frequency seam welding of aluminium alloy strips, highlighting the continuous process and lack of filler metal.
- Surface Treatments: Includes tubes that are coated through painting, lacquering, or anodizing prior to forming, accommodating variability introduced by these finishes.
- Product Consistency: Ensures that manufacturers maintain tight control over production parameters to meet dimensional specifications critical for downstream applications.
Applications
SIST EN 1592-4:1998 is widely utilized in industries where aluminium tubes are preferred for their strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and ease of forming. Common applications include:
- Construction and Architecture: Structural tubing for frameworks, window frames, and decorative profiles where precision dimensions enhance assembly and long-term performance.
- Transportation: Lightweight structural components in automotive, aerospace, and rail vehicles that require consistent tube geometry for safety and efficiency.
- Furniture Manufacturing: Tubular elements for chairs, tables, and shelving where aesthetic form and dimensional accuracy are vital.
- Electrical Enclosures and Equipment: Custom-shaped tubes used in housings or frames, where adherence to dimensional tolerances affects assembly and electrical safety.
- General Engineering: Fabrication of machinery parts and supports that depend on precise tube sizes and shape for functionality and interchangeability.
