8. Mechanical Properties
8.I Test specimen preparation and mechanical testing shall be in accordance with Test Methods and Definitions A370.
2 Tensile Properties-The material, structural steel, high-strength low-alloy steel, high-strength low-alloy steel with improved formability, and ultra-high strength steel, as repre- sented by the test specimens shall conform to the mechanical property requirements as stated in Table 5. These requirements do not apply to the uncropped ends of unprocessed coils.
8.3 Tension Test Specimen Location and Orientation- Tension test specimens shall be taken sufliciently far from the as hot-rolled coil ends so that the sample is representative of material which received the designed processing. The test shall be taken approximately midway between the center and edge of the material as rolled, For coils wider than 24 in. 600 mmI Tension test specimens shall be taken such that the longitudinal axis of the specimens is perpendicular to the direction of rolling (transverse test ) For coils through 24 in. [600 mm in width, tension test specimens shall be taken such that longitu dinal axis of the specimen is parallel to the direction of rolling (longitudinal test).
