GENERAL NOTE:
All values are maximum unless otherwise indicated.
NOTES:
(1) For each reduction of 0.01% C below 0.30%, an increase of 0.05% Mn above 1.06% will be permitted, up to a maximum of 1.35%.
(2) Fittings made from forgings may have 1.35% max Mn.

Where the wall thickness lies between two values above, the min elongation value is determined by the following equations:
WPL6
Longitudinal E=48t+15.00
Transverse E=32t+6.50
E = elongation in 2in [50mm], %
t = actual thickness of specimen, in [mm] |
