Scope LL This speciication® covers carbon sicel shapes, plaies, and bars of structural quality for use in riveted, bolted, oF ‘welded consiruetion of bridges and buildings. and for general sructura purposes. 122 Supplementary requirements are provided for use where additional testing or additional restrictions are required by the ppurchascr. Such requirements apply only when specified in the purchase order. 1.3 When the steel is to be welded, a welding procedure ‘uilable for the grade of sieel and intended use or service is 0 ‘6 utilized. See Appendix X3 of Specification A 6/A 6M for Snformation on weldabiliy. 14 Bec Group 4 and 5 wide lange shapes for use in tension, it is recommended that the purchaser consider specifying supplementary roguircments, such as fine austenitic grain sizc and Chay V-Noich Impact testing, 15 The values stated in ether inch-pound units or ST units are fo be regard separately as standard.
