For longitudinal strip testsAAA
For transverse strip tests, a deduction for each 1.32-in. [0.8-mm] decrease in wall thickness below 5⁄16 in. [7.9 mm] from the basic minimum elongation of the following percentage shall be made1.251.001.00

Note:

The minimum elongation in 2 in. [50 mm] shall be determined by the following equation:

e = 625 000A0.2 / U 0.9 for SI units, and
e = 1940A0.2 / U 0.9 for inch-pound units,

where:

e = minimum elongation in 2 in. [50 mm], %, rounded to the nearest 0.5 %,
A = cross-sectional area of the tension test specimen, in.2 [mm2], based upon specified outside diameter or nominal specimen width and
specified wall thickness,rounded to the nearest 0.01 in.2 [1 mm2]. (If the area thus calculated is equal to or greater than 0.75 in.2 [500 mm2], then the value 0.75 in.2 [500 mm2] shall be used.), and
U = specified tensile strength, psi [MPa].
