        Width: Please inquire for available plate widths for thicknesses less than 0.250 in. For plate thicknesses of 0.250 in. or greater inquire for widths less than 72 in. or over 120 in.

        Length: Please inquire for plate lengths <240 in. and greater than the listed maxima.

        Mechanical Properties

        Tensile testing is performed in the transverse direction.

                1) Specimen orientation at the option of the manufacturer unless otherwise specified in the order.

                No more than one value below the specified minimum average energy, but no less than 70% of the specified minimum average energy value.

                Minimum average energy for full-size specimens. Refer to ASTM A131 for sub-size specimen energy requirements.
