Standard round specimen, or small proportional specimen, min % in 4 D2214
Rectangular specimen for wall thickness 5⁄16 in. [7.94 mm] and over,and for all small sizes tested in full section; min % in 2 in. [50 mm]3020 A
Rectangular specimen for wall thickness less than 5⁄16 in. [7.94 mm];min % in 2 in. [50 mm] (1⁄2-in. [12.7-mm] wide specimen)BB

A Fittings manufactured from plate shall have a minimum elongation of 17 %.

B For each 1⁄32 in. [0.79 mm] decrease in wall thickness below 5⁄16 in. [7.94 mm], a deduction of 1.5 % for longitudinal and 1.0 % for transverse from the values shown above is permitted. The following table gives the minimum value for various wall thicknesses.

This table gives the computed minimum % elongation value for each 1⁄32 in. [0.79 mm] decrease in wall thickness. Where the wall thickness lies between two values above, the minimum elongation value is determined by the following equations:

Direction of TestEquation
LongitudinalE= 48t + 15.00
TransverseE= 32t + 10.00

where:

E = elongation in 2 in. or [50 mm], %, and

t = actual thickness of specimen, in. [mm].
