BS EN 12020-1:2008 Aluminium and aluminium alloys - Extruded precision profiles in alloys EN AW-6060 and EN AW-6063: Technical conditions for inspection and delivery
This document specifies technical conditions for inspection and delivery of alloys EN AW-6060 and EN AW-6063
Figure 1 — Profile without thermal barrier
extruded precision profiles manufactured with and without a thermal barrier (see Figures 1 and 2) and without further
surface treatment.
Precision profiles covered in this document are distinguished from extruded profiles for general applications covered
in EN 755-9 by the following characteristics:
they are mainly for architectural applications;
they meet more stringent requirements regarding the surface condition of visible surfaces;
the maximum diameter of the circumscribing circle CD is 350 mm;
they are made to closer tolerances on dimensions and form.
In the case of profiles, which, due to the complexity of their design are difficult to manufacture and specify, then
special agreements between supplier and purchaser may need to be reached.
NOTE The effect of the thermal barrier material on the dimensional tolerances is covered by EN 12020-2 although the actual
thermal barrier material itself is not (see EN 14024).
