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 WPL9 Longitudinal E=48t+15.00 E=48t+13.00 Transverse E=32t+6.50 E=32t+8.00 E = elongation in 2in [50mm], % t = actual thickness of specimen, in [mm] |
