A : ksi = 1000 psi.
B : See Appendix X1.
C : Rockwell hardness values apply as follows: The B and G scale hardness values apply to metal 0.020 in. (0.508 mm) and over in thickness, and the 30-T scale hardness values apply to metal 0.012 in. (0.305 mm) and over in thickness.
D : Standard designation defined in Practice B 601.
