B
Elongation and reduction of area need not be determined for floor plates.
C
For plates tested in the transverse direction, the elongation requirement is reduced by two percentage points and the reduction of area minimum requirement is reduced
by five percentage points. See elongation requirement adjustments in the Tension Tests section of Specification A 6/A 6M.
D
If measured on the Fig. 3 (Test Methods and Definitions A 370) 11⁄2-in. [40-mm] wide tension test specimen, the elongation is determined in a 2-in. [50-mm] gage length
that includes the fracture and shows the greatest elongation.

See 7.2.
