NOTE: These allowances plus nominal size tolerances must be considered in calculating the size to be ordered.

HONING


Example #1: Establish ID size of 5″ OD tube which will clean up by honing to a 4.238/4.240″ ID.
Step 1
5.000” OD – 4.238” (minimum finished ID) = .762÷ 2” = .381 nominial wall. Minimum clean up allowance for removal of ID surface imperfections from table 2 is .023”
Step 2
Minimum honed size
4.238”
 
Less
-.023
clean up allowance from table #2
 
Maximum ID size to order
=4.215”
Step 3
Standard drawn-over mandrel ID tolerance for this size is:
+.000”[/one_fourth_last]
-0.14″
 
Therefore ordered ID size should be 4.215”

Example #2: Establish ID size of 8.500” OD tube which will clean up by honing to 7.664/7.666” ID.

Step 1
8.500” OD – 7.664” (minimum finished ID) = .836÷ 2” = .418 nominal wall. Minimum clean up allowance for removal of ID surface imperfections from table 2 is .025”
Step 2
Minimum honed size
7.664”
Less .025
clean up allowance from table #2
= 7.639″
Step 3
7.639″
 
Less the + ID tolerance

Maximum ID size to order
=7.614″
Step 4
Standard ID tolerance for this size is
+.025″
–.025″
 Therefore ordered ID size will be 7.614″
