A Analysis shall regularly be made only for the elements specified in this table. If, however, the presend of other elements is suspected or indicated in amounts greater than the specified limits, further analysis shall be made to determine that these elements are not rpesent in excess of the specified limits.
B Elemens shown as balance shall be arithmetically computed by deducting the sum of the other named elements from 100.

A Tensile stress areas are computed using the following formula: As = 0.7854 [D- (0.9743/n)]2
Where:
As = Tensile stress area, in.2,
D = Nominal size (basic major diameter), in., and,
n = number of threads per inch.
