Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www .iso .org/ directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www .iso .org/ patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.

expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO’s adherence to the
World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) see the following

Introduction
This document is intended to harmonize the technical requirements for titanium tubes used in
aerospace with design operating pressure of 35 MPa.
It is noted that, while ISO standards should normally refer only to SI units, large segments of the
aerospace industry refer to other measurement systems as a matter of common working practice. The
mention of “inch series” in the title of this document reflects this. It recognizes the fact that the nominal
sizes referred to in the document, which are in common use in the aerospace industry, were originally
defined in terms of fractional inches.
Although the tube sizes were originally defined, and are frequently referred to, in terms of non-SI units,
all dimensions used in this document are in SI units with inch units given in addition for the convenience
of those users more familiar with these.
It is further noted that the standard ISO decimal symbol “,” (comma) is not used as common working
practice for inch dimensions. A decimal point is used in the inch dimensions in this document as in
many other aerospace standards.
NOTE The use of non-SI units and the decimal point in this document does not constitute general acceptance
of measurement systems other than SI within International Standards.
