Remarks:1. When copper steel is specifi ed, minimum Cu shall be 0.20%. 
1.1.1.3.1   For each reduction of 0.01% below the specifi ed carbon maximum, an increase of 0.06% manganese above the specifi ed maximum will be permitted up to the maximum of 1.35%. 
1.1.1.3.2                       For plates wider than 24 in.(600mm), the elongation requirement is reduced two percentage points. 
1.1.1.3.3                       For nominal thickness under 5/16 in.(8mm), the deduction from the specifi ed percentage of elongation in 8 in.(200mm) shall be made
