Test Methods B 557, and are compatible in technical content except
for the requirement of longer gage lengths for round specimens.
NOTE 2—Exceptions to the provisions of these test methods may
need to be made in individual specifications or test methods for a
particular material.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety
concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility
of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this
standard.
