Work Item
ASTM WK95770
Revision of B557M-15(2023) Standard Test Methods for Tension Testing Wrought and Cast Aluminum- and Magnesium-Alloy Products (Metric)
Rationale
Most references to the curved "rectangular" specimen in B557M say that it is "for Tubular Products." This is true, but this specimen type is also used/usable for extruded shapes/sections that are curved but not tubular. Revs are being proposed to clarify this.
