A
Yield strength shall be determined by the 0.2% offset in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A 370. An alternative method of determining yield strength
may be used based on total extension under load of 0.5%.
B
For some specific products, it may not be practicable to use a 2 in. or 50 mm gage length. The use of sub-size test specimens, when necessary, is permissible in
accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A 370.
C
Reduction of area does not apply on flat bars 3⁄16 in. (4.76 mm) and under in thickness as this determination is not generally made in this product size. D Or
equivalent Rockwell hardness.
E
For extruded shapes of all Cr-Ni grades of Condition A, the yield strength shall be 25 ksi (170 MPa) min., and tensile strength shall be 70 ksi (480 MPa) min. F Material
shall be capable of being heat treated to a maximum Brinell hardness of 250 when oil quenched from 1750°F (953°C).
G
For shapes having section thickness of 1⁄2 in. (12.5 mm) or less, 30% min., elongation is acceptable.

Samples for testing shall be in the form of a section not exceeding 3⁄8 in. (9.50 mm) in thickness.
B
Temperature tolerance is ± 25°F (14°C).

Permeability :-

1. When required by the purchase order, the magnetic permeability of Types 201 and 205 in the annealed condition shall not exceed 1.2 as tested by a
Severn-type indicator.
