D
Round tube 50 mm or less in outside diameter and square tube 35 mm or less on a side are tested in full section unless the limitations of the testing machine precludes
the use of such a specimen.
E
For round tube over 50 mm in diameter, for square tube over 35 mm on a side, for all sizes of tube other than round and square, or in those cases when a full section
specimen cannot be used, a cut-out specimen is used.

For purposes of determining conformance with this specification, each value for ultimate strength and yield strength shall be rounded to the nearest 1 MPa, and each
value for elongation shall be rounded to the nearest 0.5%, both in accordance with the rounding-off method of Practice E29.
