The tensile strength of the transverse \eldétest specimens shall conform to that specified in Table 1. 7.2 Transverse body-test specimens shall be taken approxi mately opposite the weld; transverse wele-test specimens shall be taken with the weld at the center of the specimen. For pipe ‘wall thicknesses up to %4 in. (19 mm), incl, all transverse test specimens shall be approximately 1!4-in. (38-mm) wide in the gage leagth and shall represent the full wall thickness of the pipe from which the specimen was cut (cee Fig. 23, Test Methods and Definitions A370). For pipe with wall thick- nesses over %4in. (19 mim), the standard 0.50S-in. (12.83 mm) round tension test specimen with 2-in. (50.8 mm) gage length shall be used (see Fig, 5, Test Methods and Definitions A 370). 7.3 Ef the tension test specimen from any lot of pipe fails to conform to the requirements for the particular grade of pipe ordered, the manufacturer may elect to make retests on two additional lengths of pipe from the same lot, each of which shall conform to the roquirements prescribed in Table 2. If one x both of the retests fall to confonmn to the requirements, the ‘manufacturer may elect to test each of the remsining lengths of ripe in the lot, Retests are required only for the particular test ‘with which the pipe opecimen did act comply originally. 74 All test specimens which are fattened cold may be reheat treated before machining, 8. Transverse Guided-Bend Tests Weld 8.1 Transverse weld test specimens shall be subject to face and root guided-bend tests. The specimens shall be approxi- mately 14 in. (38.1 mm) wide, zt least 6 in, (152 mm) in length with the weld at the center, and shall be machined in accordance with Fig. 1. One specimen shall be bent with the inside surface of the pipe against the plunges, and the other specimen with the ontside surface against the plunger. The dimensions of the plunger for the beading jig shall be in accordance with Fig. 2 and the otber dimeasions shall be substantially as shown in Fig. 2. 82 The bend test shall be accoptable if no eracks or other defects excceding ‘4 in, (3.17 mm) in any direction are present in the weld metal or between the weld and pipe metal after bending. Cracks which originate along the edges of the specimen during testing, and that are less than Y@ in.
