BS EN 755-6:2008

What is BS EN 755-6 - Hexagonal bars, tolerances on dimensions, and form about?  

BS EN 755-6 specifies the dimension and form tolerances for aluminium and aluminium alloy extruded hexagonal bars having widths across flats in the range from 10 mm up to 220 mm. 

The temper designations used in this part are according to EN 515. 

Who is for BS EN 755-6 - Hexagonal bars, tolerances on dimensions, and form?  

BS EN 755-6 on aluminium and aluminium alloys hexagonal bars is relevant to: 

• Manufacturer of aluminium and aluminium alloys hexagonal bars 
• Mechanical engineer 

Why should you use BS EN 755-6 - Hexagonal bars, tolerances on dimensions, and form? 

Hexagonal Bars are precisely shaped for items or machines that require accurate pieces. One of the most common places they are used is conveyor tables. Hexagonal Bars are usually easy to drill and form, making them common in braces, ornamental and interior works. 

BS EN 755-6 provides guidance on tolerances on dimensions, width across flats, corner radii, the squareness of cut ends, straightness, convexity – concavity. 

With BS EN 755-6 you can be ensured of the tolerances on dimensions and form for aluminium and aluminum alloy cold drawn hexagonal bars and also manufacture high-quality hexagonal bars of precise dimension. BS EN 755-6 provides you with comprehensive information useful throughout the process of production.
