ASTM WK98184
Revision of A370-24a Standard Test Methods and Definitions for Mechanical Testing of Steel Products
Rationale
This Work Item changes the subsection title for A2.5 from Manipulating Tests to Ductility Tests.
Although the terms manipulation, manipulate or manipulating are found in other Society Committee
Specifications, they are not commonly found in A01 Specifications. Ductility is a more
appropriate descriptor and is frequently used in A01 Specifications and within Main Committee E28
on Mechanical Testing.
