These shall apply only when specified by the purchaser in the order. 1.3, When the stel is to be welded, iis presupposed that a welding procedure suitable for the grade of steel and ine tended use oF service will be utilized. See Appendix X3 of Specification A 6/A 6M for information on weldability. 1.4 The purchaser should consider specifving supple ‘mental requirements, such as fine austenitic grain size and Charpy V-Notch Impact requirements, when Group 4 or Group $ wide flange shapes are specilied for use in other ‘than column or compression applications. 1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI (metric) units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents, therefore, each system must be used independent of tae ‘other.
