Difference between "elongation" and "computed elongation"
Difference between "elongation" and "computed elongation"
(OP)
What is the difference between "elongation" and "computed elongation" in ASME Sec. II (e.g. SA213)? Can we use "computed elongation" instead of "elongation" while we are working according to ASME Sec. VIII div. 1?

If you used strip tests for determining mechanical properties, yes, you can use computed elongation as mentioned in 9.2 and using the thickness of the strip in Table 6.
