3. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES:
* 3.1 The following tensile requirements shall be met:
Tensile Requirements( 1)
Plates, Shapes( 2 ), and Bars:
Tensile strength, ksi (Mpa) 58-80 (400-552)
Yield point, min, ksi (Mpa) 36 (248)( 3 )

Plates and Bars(4 ), (5):

Elongation in 8 in. (200 mm), min, % 20
Elongation in 2 in, (50 mm), min, % 23

Shapes:
Elongation in 8 in. (200 mm), min,% 20
Elongation in 2 in. (50 mm) min, % 21 (2)

(1) For plates wider than 24 in. (600 mm}, the test specimen is taken in the
transverse direction. See Orientation under the Tension Tests section of
ASTM Specification A 6/A 6M.
(2} For wide flange shapes over 426 lb/ft (634 kg/m}, the 80 ksi (552 MPa)
maximum tensile strength does not apply and a minimum elongation in
2 inch (50 mm) of 19% applies.
(3} Yield point 32 ksi (220 MPa) for plates over 8 in. (200 mm) in thickness.
(4} Elongation not required to be determined for floor plate.

(5) For plates wider than 24 in. (600 mm), the elongation requirement is
reduced two percentage points.

4. QUALITY REQUIREMENTS:
4.1 Within the limits of good manufacturing and inspection practices, material or
parts shall not contain any defects which, due to their nature, degree or
extent, prevent the fulfillment of the requirements of this specification or
jeopardize the integrity of the furnished product in service.

5. INSPECTION ANO REJECTION:

5.1 Material failing to meet the intent and purpose of this specification will be
rejected, and the supplier will be notified. After acceptance by the supplier of
the rejection, the rejected material shall be returned for full credit at prices
charged, including all transportation charges.
