Summary of Shapes
For full details please refer to
SANS 282:2004
Notes
1. Use shape code 99 for all other shapes – a dimensioned sketch
of the shape shall be given in the bending schedule.
2. Radii of all bends are standard unless r is given in bending schedule.
3. All dimensions are external (outside) dimensions.

STOCK LENGTHS: 9m to 13m in 1 metre increments. Longer lengths are available by special arrangement, subject to possible delay and
additional cost.
