(2) Fittings made from forgings may have 1.35% max Mn.

Where the wall thickness lies between two values above, the min elongation value is determined by the following equations:
WPL6
Longitudinal E=48t+15.00
Transverse E=32t+6.50
E = elongation in 2in [50mm], %
t = actual thickness of specimen, in [mm]
