[QUOTE=Francis Morin;21975]most structual steels used today (exception being the Cor-Ten series) have a mean tensile range of aprox 53,000 psi- that's why coded SMAW welding rods start at 60- ie: 6011- 60,000 psi tensile as stress relieved- etc-QUOTE]
Tensile, meaning 'stretched or drawn out' would seem to indicate by definition and by your quoted "range of approximately 53,000 psi or 60,000 psi" a rod of a particular standard diameter.... can you tell us what that would be?
