1. SCOPE:
This specification covers established manufacturing tolerances applicable to corrosion and heat-
resistant steel, iron alloy, titanium, and titanium alloy bars and wire. These tolerances apply to all
conditions, unless otherwise noted. The term “excl” is used to apply only to the higher figure of the
specified range.
2.1.1 Rounds, Squares, Hexagons, and Octagons (See 2.1.3): See Table 1.
SAE Technical Standards Board Rules provide that: “This report is published by SAE to advance the state of technical and engineering sciences. The use of this report is entirely

2.1.1.1 Size tolerances for round bars are plus and minus as shown in Table 1. When required,
however, they may be specified all plus and nothing minus, or all minus and nothing plus, or
any combination of plus and minus, if the total spread in size tolerance for a specified size is
not less than the total spread shown in Table 1.
2.1.1.2 For titanium and titanium alloys, the difference among the three measurements of the
distance between opposite faces of hexagons shall be not greater than one-half the size
tolerance and the difference between the measurements of the distance between opposite
faces of octagons shall be not greater than the size tolerance.

2.1.3 If cold finished bars are ordered heat treated or heat treated and pickled after cold finishing,
tolerances shall be double those of Table 1 and Table 2.
2.2.1 Rounds, Squares, Hexagons, and Octagons (See 2.2.1.1): See Table 3.

2.2.1.1 If cold finished wire is ordered heat treated or heat treated and pickled after cold finishing,
tolerances shall be double those of Table 3 for nominal sizes 0.024-inch (0.60-mm) and
over.
2.2.1.2 For titanium and titanium alloys, tolerances for these sizes are ±0.00075-inch (0.019-mm).
2.2.1.3 For titanium and titanium alloys, the difference among the three measurements of the
distance between opposite faces of hexagons shall be not greater than one-half the size
tolerance, and the difference among the four measurements of the distance between
opposite faces of octagons shall be not greater than one-half the size tolerance.
2.2.1.4 Out-of-Round: Round wire shall not be out-of-round by more than one-half of the total
tolerance shown in Table 3.

2.2.2.1 Width tolerances shall be ± 0.005 inch (0.12 mm) for nominal widths 0.0625 to 0.375 inch
(1.56 to 9.38 mm), exclusive.
2.3.1.1 Rounds and Squares: See Table 5. Out-of-round is the difference between the maximum
and minimum diameters of the bar, measured at the same cross section. Out-of-square is
the difference in the two dimensions at the same cross section of a square bar, each
dimension being the distance between opposite faces.

Unless otherwise ordered, bars shall be of such straightness that the maximum curvature
(depth of arc) shall not exceed 0.125 inch (3.13 mm) in any 5 feet (1500 mm) of length, but shall

6. NOTES:
6.1 A change bar (|) located in the left margin is for the convenience of the user in locating areas
where technical revisions, not editorial changes, have been made to the previous issue of a
specification. An (R) symbol to the left of the document title indicates a complete revision of the
specification, including technical revision. Change bars and (R) are not used in original
publications, nor in specifications that contain editorial changes only.
6.1.1 This AMS 2241P is an editorial correction necessary to correct publication errors in the N
revision, (see Tables 2A, 7B, 9B, and 10B). In this instance, the change bar symbol(s)
included herein are for the convenience of the user in locating areas where technical changes
have been made to the M and N revisions of this specification.
6.1.2 It can be noted that MAM 2241 has been made noncurrent. Accordingly, this AMS 2241P
includes metric equivalents.
Tolerances, bars, wire, titanium, steel, iron alloy, titanium alloy, and corrosion-resistant.

RATIONALE:
Because MAM 2241D was made noncurrent, it became desirable to include metric tables in this AMS
revision. Therefore, all the B tables have been inserted.
