a
Minimum unless a range is shown.
b
For shapes over 426 lb/ft, only the minimum of 58 ksi applies.
c
For shapes with a flange thickness less than or equal to 11⁄2 in. only. To improve weldability, a maximum carbon equivalent can be specified
(per ASTM Supplementary Requirement S78). If desired, maximum tensile stress of 90 ksi can be specified (per ASTM Supplementary
Requirement S79).
d
If desired, maximum tensile stress of 70 ksi can be specified (per ASTM Supplementary Requirement S81).
e
For shapes with a flange thickness less than or equal to 2 in. only.
f
ASTM A618 can also be specified as corrosion-resistant; see ASTM A618.
g
Minimum applies for walls nominally 3⁄4-in. thick and under. For wall thicknesses over 3⁄4 in., Fy = 46 ksi and Fu = 67 ksi.
h
If desired, maximum yield stress of 65 ksi and maximum yield-to-tensile strength ratio of 0.85 can be specified (per ASTM Supplementary
Requirement S75).
i
A maximum yield-to-tensile strength ratio of 0.85 and carbon equivalent formula are included as mandatory in ASTM A992.
j
For shapes with a flange thickness greater than 2 in. only.
k
For shapes with a flange thickness greater than 11⁄2 in. and less than or equal to 2 in. only.
l
For shapes with a flange thickness less than or equal to 11⁄2 in. only.
