RMA TOLERANCES FOR
CUTTING TO LENGTH EXTRUSIONS
Unspliced
extrusions are classified as those that generally require
only extruding, vulcanizing and cutting to length. They
are of various cross sectional designs and do not include
lathe cut parts, formed tubing, or precision ground
and cut parts. They are generally packed in a straight
or coiled condition after being measured and cut to
length.
The following tables
are to be used to convey to the manufacturer the limits
that are designed by the purchaser.
It should be understood
by the design engineers that due to the stretch factor
in rubber, a period of conditioning at room temperature
must be allowed before measurements for length are taken.
A specific technique of measurement should be agrred
upon between the purchaser and manufacturer.
