Note A: WPB and WPC fittings manufactured from plate shall have a minimum elongation of 17 %.
Note B: For each 1/32 in. [0.79 mm] decrease in wall thickness below 5/16 in. [7.94 mm], a deduction of 1.5 % for longitudinal and 1.0 % for transverse from the values shown above is permitted. The following table gives the minimum value for various wall thicknesses.
