Description
ASTM has an active standards-development work item (WK86336) proposing a revision to ASTM A193/A193M-23. The rationale described in the work item is to remove a duplicate/conflicting Grade B8 entry in Table 2 (austenitic steels section), where B8 appears twice with different elongation requirements. Although not a government regulation, this is an official ASTM change-in-progress that may affect procurement/specification control and contractual compliance where ASTM A193/A193M-23 is incorporated by reference.
