¹For plates wider than 24 inches (610 mm), the test specimen is taken in the transverse direction. See 7.1.2 of Specification A6.

²For wide flange shapes over 426 lb./Ft tensile strength minimum of 58,000 psi (400 MPa) only and elongation of 2 inches of 19 percent minimum applies.

³Yield point 32,000 psi (220 MPa) for plates over 8 inches in thickness.

⁴See 7.3.

⁵Elongation not required to be determined for floor plate.

⁶For plates wider than 24 inches (610 mm), the elongation requirement is reduced without percentage points.
