 a. All weld metal tension tests in the as-welded condition, see AWS A5.1 for more det
 b. For the E60 series, each increase of one percentage point in elongation over the minimum, the tensile strength or yield strength, or both,
 may decrease 1000 psi to a minimum of 60 ksi (420 MPa) for the tensile strength and 48 ksi (330 MPa) for the yield strength for all
 classifications of the E60 electrodes except E6012, E6013, and E6022. For the E6012 and E6013 classificaftions, the tensile strength and
 yield strength may decrease to a minimum of 65 ksi (450 MPa) for the tensile strength and 53 ksi (365 MPa) for the yield strength. E6022
 electrodes are for single-pass welding, and the yield strength/elongation measurement is not required.
 c. For the E70 series, each increase of one percentage point in elongation over the minimum, the tensile strength or yield strength, or both,
 may decrease 1000 psi to a minimum of 70 ksi (480 MPa) for the tensile strength and 58 ksi (400 (MPa) for the yield strength.
 d. Upon agreement between the supplier and purchaser, electrodes classified as E7016 or E7018 may be supplied to a minimum Charpy
 V-notch impact requirement of 20 ft-lb at -50 F (27 J at -46 C). Such electrodes shall be identified as E7016-1 or E7018-1, as appropriate.
 e. Upon agreement between supplier and purchaser, electrodes classified as E7024 may be supplier to a minimum Charpy V-notch impact
 requirement of 20 ft-lb at 0 F (27 J at -18 C) and a minimum elongation of 22 %. Such electrodes shall be identified as E7024-1
