Tensile Requirements
| Tensile strength, min ksi[Mpa] | 60[415] |
| Yield strength, min: ksi[Mpa] | 30[205] |
Elongation Requirements
| Longitudinal | Transverse | |
| Elongation in 2 in. or 50 mm, (or 4D), min, %: Basic minimum elongation for wall 5.16 in. [8 mm] and over in thickness, strip tests,and for all small sizes tested in full section | 30 | 20 |
| When standard round 2-in. or 50 mm gage length or proportionally smaller size specimen with the gage length equal to 4DB 4 times the diameter) is used | 22 | 14 |
| For strip tests a deduction for each 1.32in. [0.8 mm] decrease in wall thickness below in. [8 mm] from the basic minimum elongation of the following percentage points shall be made | 1.50 A | 1.00 A |
A Table below gives the calculated minimum values.
