(1) For each reduction of 0.01% C below 0.30%, an increase of 0.05%
Mn above 1.06% will be permitted, up to a maximum of 1.35%.
(2) Fittings made from forgings may have 1.35% max Mn.

Where the wall thickness lies between two values above, the min elongation value is determined
by the following equations:
		WPL6			WPL9
Longitudinal		E=48t+15.00			E=48t+13.00
Transverse		E=32t+6.50			E=32t+8.00
E = elongation in 2in[50mm], %
t = actual thickness of specimen, in[mm]
