Rockwell Hardness values for ASTM A563 Gr A

Rockwell Hardness values for ASTM A563 Gr A

(OP)
I was looking the STD A563 Gr A & found that Rockwell Hardness value is mentioned as B68 MIN & C32 MAX. I was checking a test certificate & it shows the result for hardness as 90-92 HRB. Please advise how to compare the values in the standard & the results in the test certificate.

RE: Rockwell Hardness values for ASTM A563 Gr A

It is withing the spec range, so what is the question?
Rockwell ranges don't read above 100, and RB100 is roughly 20RC.
