See Appendix X3 of Specifica-tion A 6/A 6M for information on weldability.1.4 For structural products to be used as tension componentsrequiring notch toughness testing, standardized requirementsare provided in this standard, and they are based uponAme

8、rican Association of State Highway and TransportationOfficials (AASHTO) requirements for both fracture critical andnon-fracture critical members.1.5 Supplementary requirements are available but shallapply only if specified in the purchase order.1.6 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound

9、unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. 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 non-conformancewith the standard.1.7 For structural products produced from

10、coil and fur-nished without heat treatment or with stress relieving only, theadditional requirements, including additional testing require-ments and the reporting of additional test results, of Specifi-cation A 6/A 6M apply.2.
