<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 />
