This specification defines the dimensional tolerances of standard rods, bars, and shapes pultruded from thermosetting glass-reinforced plastics. Tolerances cover dimensional criteria for cross sections, width or diameter, straightness, twist, surface flatness, angularity, and camber.

This abstract is a brief summary of the referenced standard. It is informational only and not an official part of the standard; the full text of the standard itself must be referred to for its use and application. ASTM does not give any warranty express or implied or make any representation that the contents of this abstract are accurate, complete or up to date.

1. Scope

1.1 This specification defines tolerances applicable to standard rods, bars, and shapes pultruded from thermosetting glass-reinforced plastics.

1.2 These dimensional tolerances apply to all shapes specified as “standard” by the pultrusion industry.

1.3 Custom shapes and products designed for special applications may carry specific tolerances that vary from the standard.

1.4 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as standard. The values given in parentheses are mathematical conversions to SI units that are provided for information only and are not considered standard.

1.5 The following safety hazards caveat pertains only to the test methods portion, Section 4, of this specification: This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.

Note 1—There is no known ISO equivalent to this standard.
