5、listed (see Section 7), which indicates theirrequired heat treatments, as well as mechanical properties.1.4 Provision, with the suffix H for certification andmarking, for the supply of forgings after hardness testing only.1.5 Supplementary requirements, including those in Speci-fication A788/A788M,

6、of an optional nature are provided.These shall apply only when specified by the purchaser.1.6 Appendix X1 lists the current classes corresponding tothe various classes of Specifications A235, A237, and A243,which have been superseded by this specification.1.7 The values stated in either SI units or

7、inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard; within the text andtables, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated ineach system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, eachsystem shall be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in n
