RE: Qualification of WPS for PSL3 based API 6A applications
There is a point to remember with regards to the tensile test requirements of API; they use the load at failure divided by the original cross sectional area of the test sample. This is different than the UTS as determined by ASME/AWS/ and military standards that use the maximum load divided by the original cross sectional area of the test specimen.
