    A current index of the latest revised ES Standards, Technical Bulletins and Safety Training Guideline is available from the Pipe Fabrication Institute.

    PIPE FABRICATION INSTITUTE


    Dedicated to Technical Advancements and Standardization in the Pipe Fabrication Industry Since 1913 USA CANADA 666 Fifth Ave., #325 655, 32nd Ave., suite 201 Lachine, QC H8T 3G6 New York, NY 10103 WEB SITE www.pfi-institute.org

    PFI Safety Training Guideline, Standards and Technical Bulletins are published to serve proven needs of the pipe fabricating industry at the design level and in actual shop operations. Hence, such needs are continually considered and reviewed by the Engineering Committee of the Pipe Fabrication Institute to provide recommended procedures, which have been demonstrated by collective experiences to fulfill requirements in a manner for Code compliance. However, as the PFI Standards are for minimum requirements the designer or fabricator always has the option of specifying supplementary conditions in the form of requirements beyond the scope of the PFI publications.

    FABRICATING TOLERANCES

    METRIC CONVERSIONS The conversion of quantities between systems of units involves a determination of the number of significant digits to be retained. All conversions depend upon the intended precision of the original quantity and are rounded to the appropriate accuracy. Pipe sizes together with applicable wall thickness are not shown with metric equivalents. The SI (metric) values where included with the customary U.S. values in this Standard are the rounded equivalents of the U.S. values and are for reference only. Metric units were derived utilizing the following conversion factor:
    END PREPARATION FOR WELD SHALL NOT DEVIATE FROM INDICATED POSITION BY MORE THAN 1/32" (1.0 mm) ACROSS THE LAND FOR INERT GAS WELD JOINTS OR 3/32" (3.0 mm) FOR OTHER JOINTS

    1. Scope
    1.1 This standard covers general pipe shop fabricating tolerances for prefabricated piping assemblies.

    excess of those specified in paragraphs 2.2 and 2.3 may occur, and are acceptable.

    3. Angularity and Rotation Tolerances


    3.1 Angularity tolerance across the face of flanges, weld end preparation and on rotation of flanges are as stated on Fig. 1.

    TOLERANCES ON DIMENSIONS WHICH DO NOT INCLUDE PIPE SEGMENTS ARE TO BE BASED ON ANSI SPECIFICATIONS FOR FITTINGS OR FLANGES INVOLVED (SEE PARAGRAPH 2.4)

    2. Linear Tolerances
    2.1 The tolerances on linear dimensions (intermediate or overall) apply to the face to face, face to end, and end to end measurements of fabricated straight pipe and headers; center to end or center to face of nozzles or other attachments; or center to face of bends; as illustrated on Fig. 1. These tolerances are not accumulative. 2.2 Linear tolerances on A are 1/8" (3.0 mm) for sizes 10" and under, 3/16" (5.0 mm) for sizes 12" through 24" and 1/4" (6.0 mm) for sizes over 24" through 36". 2.3 Linear tolerances on A for sizes over 36" are subject to tolerances of 1/4" (6.0 mm), increasing by plus or minus 1/16" (2.0 mm) for each 12" in diameter over 36". 2.4 Due to the cumulative effects of tolerances on fittings or flanges, when joined without intervening pipe segments, deviations in

    4. Closer Tolerances
    4.1 When closer tolerances than those given in paragraphs 2.2, 2.3 and 2.4 are absolutely necessary, they shall be subject to agreement between the Purchaser and Fabricator.
