7. Mechanical Requirements
7.1 Tension Tests:
7.1.1 RequirementsThe plates as represented by the
tension-test specimens shall conform to the requirements given
in Table 2.
7.1.2 Test Methods:
7.1.2.1 The yield strength may be determined by the 0.2 %
offset method or by the total extension under load of 0.5 %
method.
7.1.2.2 For plates 34 in. [20 mm] and under in thickness, the
test specimen shall be the 112 in. [40 mm] wide rectangular-test
specimen.
7.1.2.3 For plates over 34 in. [20 mm], either the full
thickness rectangular-test specimen or the 12 in. [12.5 mm]
round-test specimen may be used.
SUPPLEMENTARY REQUIREMENTS
Supplementary requirements shall not apply unless specified in the order.
A list of standardized supplementary requirements for use at the option of the purchaser are included
in Specification A20/A20M. Several of those considered suitable for use with this specification are
listed by title. Other tests may be performed by agreement between the supplier and the purchaser.
S1. Vacuum Treatment,
S2. Product Analysis,
S3. Simulated Post-Weld Heat Treatment of Mechanical
Test Coupons,
S5. Charpy V-Notch Impact Test,
S6. Drop Weight Test (for Material 0.625 in. [16 mm] and
over in Thickness),
S7. High-Temperature Tension Test,
