Longitudinal strip testspecimens shall have all burrs removed. Tension test specimensshall not contain surface imperfections that would
47、 interferewith proper determination of the tensile properties.TABLE 2 Tensile RequirementsGrade A Grade BTensile strength, min, psi MPa 58 000 400 70 000 483Yield strength, min, psi MPa 36 000 250 50 000 345Elongation in 2 in. 50 mm, min, % 23 23A501/A501M 143TABLE 3 Dimensions of Common Sizes of Sq
