SI units[edit]

Consider using the metric MPa for the strengths? Glueball 15:54, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Specific weight[edit]

The sentence reads, "As with most steels, A36 has a specific weight 0.28 lb/in³ (7.8 g/cm³) times that of water." Am I right in thinking that "times that of water" should be removed? I'm not making sense of it the way it is. --S Roper (talk) 20:13, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, that doesn't belong there. Wizard191 (talk) 20:35, 12 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The properties listed here as specific weights are not specific weights, they are densities. A specific weight is a force divided by a volume, the listed quantities are a mass divided by a volume. The English value should also be listed as a lbm/in³ because lb/in³ is ambiguous and could be mistaken for lbf/in³. Craig.horton (talk) 19:13, 14 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

strain to rupture / elongation % missing[edit]

elongation is spec 23% for 2" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 97.126.64.7 (talk) 04:21, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

designation vs specification for manufacture[edit]

A-36 is not a designation but a specification for manufacture. The designation would not be from ASTM, it would be a number from SAE, AISI, or UNS. 'Designation' means the chemical composition of the material. ASTM does not provide the designation number for such. ASTM provides the specification used to produce the material, one of which is A-36. I do not remember any designation to which ASTM A-36 is applied; that is why I came to Wikipedia - to try to look it up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.73.30.169 (talk) 20:40, 6 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
