Yield Strength
The point at which the specimen generates a large
deformation without the addition of any load is called
the yield point. The corresponding stress is called the
yield stress, or yield strength, Sy.
The yield point is easy to recognize for materials with a
stress-strain curve similar to that shown in Fig. 2.1(a).
For materials with a roundhouse stress-strain curve as
shown in Fig. 2.1(b), there is no apparent yield point. For
these materials, the common approach is to define yield
strength by the amount of stress required to produce a
fixed amount of permanent deformation. This is the socalled offset method of determining the yield point.
ASTM specifies an offset strain of 0.2% to be used for
common pipe materials covered by its specifications .
25
Ultimate Tensile
Strength
The highest stress on the stress-strain curve is called the
ultimate strength. As the material is stretched, the crosssection area will be reduced. However, the stresses given
on the curve are determined by dividing the applied force
with the original cross-section area of the un-stretched
specimen.
This explains why the curve shows a drop in stress near
the break point toward the end of the curve.
The use of the original cross-section area is required as all
design calculations are based on original cross-section.

(b) Spot Radiography. Butt welded joints made in
accordance with Type No. (1) or (2) of Table UW-12 which
are not required to be fully radiographed by (a) above,
may be examined by spot radiography. Spot radiography
shall be in accordance with UW-52 (SPOT
EXAMINATION OF WELDED JOINTS). If spot
radiography is specified for the entire vessel, radiographic
examination is not required of Category B and C butt
welds in nozzles that exceed neither NPS 10 nor 118 in.
(29 mm) wall thickness.
(c) No Radiography. Except as required in (a) above, no
radiographic examination of welded joints is required
when the vessel or vessel part is designed for external
pressure only.
