True

Explanation:

For steels, we can assume the endurance limit measured by rotating beam tests is the 50% of the ultimate tensile strength (UTS) as long as the UTS is equal to or less than 200 kpsi (1400 MPa).

Also, It is a simplistic rule of thumb that, for steels having a UTS less than 160 kpsi, the endurance limit for the material will be approximately 45 to 50% of the UTS.
