| Yield strength, min | 205 MPa |
| Elongation, min | {'longitudinal': 35, 'gauge': '50 mm (2 in)', 'transverse_note': 'A312 also has a transverse minimum, but no source in this run printed it, so it is left out'} % |
| Hardness | No hardness requirement appears in the A312 requirements reproduced by the sources. The 95 HRB / 217 HB max often quoted for 321 is the ASTM A240 plate limit. |
