Shape tolerances

Deviation limits and dimensional tolerances for hot rolled steel sheet piles made of unalloyed steel according to din en 10 248-2.

• Pile width
  Single piles ± 2%; double and triple piles ± 3%
• Wall thickness
  t: up to 8.5 mm = ± 0.5 mm; over 8.5 mm = ± 6 % t
• U-Sections
  s: up to 8.5 mm = – 0.5 mm; over 8.5 mm = – 6 % s
• Wall thickness, Z-Sections and flat sections
  t, s: up to 8.5 mm = ± 0.5 mm; over 8.5 mm = ± 6 % s, t
• Height of U-Sections
  h: up to 200 mm = ± 4 mm; over 200 mm = ± 5 mm
• Height of Z- Sections
  h: up to 200 mm = ± 5 mm; from 200 to 300 mm = ± 6 mm; over 300 mm = ± 7 mm
• Deviation from straightness
  The longitudinal deviation from straightness must not exceed 0.2% of pile length
• Pile length
  Sheet pile lengths are permitted to deviate by ± 200 mm from the ordered lengths
• Cut
  Cut at right angle to the longitudinal axis. The total deviation between the highest and lowest points in the cutting plane, measured on a single pile along the longitudinal axis, must not exceed 2% of pile width
• Weight
  The tolerance between the arithmetic weight (according to section tables) and weighed weight of the total consignment must be within ± 5%
• Section interlocks
  The interlocks shall have adequate free play so that the piles can be fitted into each other and they must engage in such a manner, that the forces necessary for the calculated connection can be transmitted
