What is the tolerance of straightness on an aluminum street light pole?

I am designing aluminum street light poles of different heights, and I want to know the standard.

The pole shall be sufficiently straight when in a vertical position. The maximum deviation from a string line in a plane passing through the longitudinal axis shall not exceed the tolerance listed below:

  • 0-640 cm high: 1/2″ (12.7 mm)
  • 640-792 cm high: 3/4″ (19.04 mm)
  • 792-1067 cm high: 1″ (25.40 mm)
  • 1067-1219 cm high: 1-1/4″ (31.75 mm)

*The above is the CITY OF LOS ANGELES standard. The standards may vary in different countries.
