[Nore 4—On the round specimens in Figs. 8 and 9, the gauge lengths are equal to four [ES] or ive mes [E8M] the nominal diameter. In some product specifications other specimens may be provided for, bt unless the 4to-1 [ES] S-o-1 [ESM] ratio is maintained within dimensional tolerances, the elongation values may not be compatable with those obtained from the standard test specimen. [Nore S—The se of specimens smaller than 6-mm [0.250-in| diameter shall be restricted to cases when the material toe tested is of insuifcient size to obvain larger specimens or when all paties agree to their use for acceptance testing. Smaller specimens require suitable equipment and greater kil in both michining and testing. [Nore 6—For inch/pound units only: Five sizes of specimens often used have diameters of approximately 0.508, 0.387, 0.282, 0,160, and 0.113 in the reason being to permit easy calculations of stress fom lds, since the comtesponding cross-sectional areas are qual or close t6 0.200, 0-100, 0.0500, (00200, and 0.0100 ins, respectively. Thus, when the actual diameters agree with these values, the stresses (oF strengths) may be computed using the simple multiplying factors 5,10, 20,50, and 1, respectively (The metic equivalents ofthese five diameters do not result in correspondingly convenient roxssectional areas and multiplying factors.)
