ASTM International Standard Specification for Flanged Steel U-Channel Posts ASTM A1075-12(2017)e1

This specification covers flanged U-channel carbon steel posts having a nominal weight ranging from 0.75 to 6.0 lb/ft and a nominal width ranging from 1.25 to 4.0 in. These posts are furnished in the as-wrought condition intended for applications requiring high tensile strength or crashworthiness and with a lower carbon (LC) designation for use where higher ductility or improved weldability are required. This specification indicates that tension tests and tensile tests are conducted on the flanged steel U-channel posts, and notes that retesting for failed mechanical properties may be permitted.
