ASTM codes and Tensile strenghts

ASTM codes and Tensile strenghts

ASTM codes and Tensile strenghts

(OP)
Hello, I have a testing unit which I need information on the tensile strengh of it's components. I have ASTM codes for the materials but do not know how to convert or translate them to find the tensile strenght on these materials. The codes are:
           ASTM A 500
           ASTM A 569  and
Hardness Rockwell M95.
Thank you.
Ben

RE: ASTM codes and Tensile strenghts

ASTM A500 shows yield and tensile strength requirements in Table 2.  There are 4 grades shown with slightly different values depending on whether you have round tubing or square tubing.
A569 is now A1011 CS.  This material is not normally provided based on strength requirements.  Table 3 indicates that yield will typically be in the 30 to 50 ksi range, but that is not guaranteed.  About the only way to know for sure is to test a sample of the material you are using.  If you are interested in precise mechanical properties you should probably consider one of the SS or HSLAS grades of A1011 instead.

Thank you, The ASTM A500 is square tubing(2"x2"x1/8" & 1"x1"x1/8"). The ASTM A569 - which you said is now A1011 CS is in the form of flattened expanded metal (dimensions: SWD - 15/16", LWD - 2 1/4", SWO - 10/16", Strand thickness& Width - 3/32").
This data should help in narrowing this down for the tensile strenghts. Also, any luck with the Hardness Rockwell of M95?
