Excerpt from Review of the Text of the American Standard Specifications for Steel

In drawing up the standard specifications the Committee were conservative, and included in the main, only such requirements as have been proved in practice to be of value or essential in determin in g whether or not the material is suited for the purpose intended. Contradictory and obscure clauses were eliminated, and tests of very doubtful value as a measure of the material when in service as well as those unnecessary in the present state of the art, were as far as possible omitted. The specifications were adopted as representing the American practice of to-day. They were adopted as American standards, subject to change, and will be reconsidered by the American Section of I. A. T. M. Whenever requirements of service be come more severe, better methods of testing are developed, or future improvements in manufacture render modifications necessary or advisable.
