Note: Rockwell or equivalent hardness values apply only to the annealed ends of stress-relieved tubing. Caution should be observed in using the Rockwell test on thin material,as the results may be affected by the thickness of specimen. For thickness under 0.050 in. (1.27 mm) the use of the Rockwell superficial or the Vickers hardness test is suggested. For hardness conversions for nickel and high-nickel alloys see Hardness Conversion Tables E140.
In the case of stress-relieved tubes furnished with annealed ends, the tension test shall be made on the stressrelieved tubes prior to annealing the ends.
