Characteristic Tensile Properties
|
Yield Strength, Re MPa |
Tensile/Yield Strength ratio Rm/Re | Total elongation at maximum force, Agt % | |
| B 500 A | 500 | 1.05a | 2.5b |
| B 500 B | 500 | 1.08 | 5.0 |
| B 500 C | 500 | >1.15, <1.35 | 7.5 |
Rm/Re characteristic is 1.02 for size below 8mm.
Agt characteristic is 1.0% for size below 8mm
Values of Re specified are characteristic with p=0.95
Values of Rm/Re and Agt specfied are characteristics with p=0.90
Calculated the values of Rm and Re using the nomina cross section area.
