Elongation in 8 in. [200 mm], min, % 20
Elongation in 2 in. [50 mm], min, % 21B
A
See the Orientation subsection inthe Tension Tests section of Specification
A 6/A 6M.
B
For wide flange shapes with flange thickness over 3 in. [75 mm], the 80 ksi [550
MPa] maximum tensile strength does not apply and a minimum elongation in 2 in.
[50 mm] of 19 % applies.
C
Yield point 32 ksi [220 MPa] for plates over 8 in. [200 mm] in thickness.
D
Elongation not required to be determined for floor plate.
E
For plates wider than 24 in. [600 mm], the elongation requirement is reduced
two percentage points. See the Elongation Requirement Adjustments subsection
under the Tension Tests section of Specification A 6/A 6M.
