<strong>Structural</strong> <strong>Sections</strong> to BS4: Part 1: 1993 and BS EN10056: 1999<br />

Joists to BS 4:<br />

Part 1: 1993<br />

Mass tolerances for joists<br />

Tolerances shall be applied to the<br />

actual mass per unit length of the<br />

joist. The rolling tolerances shall<br />

either be:<br />

a) ± 2.5% of the actual mass per<br />

unit length<br />

or<br />

b) + 5.0% of the actual mass per<br />

unit length where a minimum<br />

mass per unit length is ordered.<br />

Length tolerances for joists<br />

Joists ordered as “specified” or as<br />

“exact” lengths shall be supplied as<br />

follows:<br />

a) Specified lengths. When a joist is<br />

cut to a specified length, it shall<br />

be cut to within ± 25mm of that<br />

length. When a minimum length<br />

is specified, it shall be cut to<br />

within +50<br />

-0 mm of that minimum<br />

length.<br />

b) Exact lengths. When a section is<br />

to be cut to an exact length, it<br />

shall be cold sawn to within<br />

± 3.2mm of that length.<br />
