A) Actual yield strength shall not exceed specified minimum by more than 15 ksi [105 MPa].
B) For each 1⁄32-in. [0.79 mm] decrease in section thickness below 5⁄16 in. [7.94 mm], a deduction of 1.5 % from the elongation value of specimens above 5⁄16 in. [7.94mm] is permitted. When the section thickness lies between two values defined above, the minimum elongation value is determined by the following equation: E = 48t + 15.00
where: E = elongation % in 2 in. [50 mm], and t = actual thickness of specimen
C) These requirements are intended to minimize fracture initiation. The requirements are not intended to give assurance against fracture propagation.
Hardness Requirements
Fittings shall have a maximum hardness of 22 HRC (235 HB).
