Industry Bulletin

With the 2020 revision to the ASTM A615 specification (A615-20), the tensile strength requirements for A615 Grades 60 and 80 have been reduced to 80,000 psi and 100,000 psi, respectively. These are the same requirements as A706, so with these changes A706 material now meets or exceeds all chemical and mechanical requirements for the respective size and grade of A615.
