1.2 Several grades of steel are covered. The grade and class
be specified by the purchaser.
1.3 Supplementary requirements of an optional nature are
provided for use when special quality is desired. ‘Thes
supplementary requirements call for additional tests to be made
and when desired shall be so stated in the order, together

1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or ST units
are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the
SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each
system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must
be used independently of the other. Combining values from the
