15、PA 19428-2959, United States.7.1.2 Excess scale and decarburization shall be removedfrom the test area of the head or web of the selected specimens.7.2 Procedure:7.2.1 1 The test shall be conducted in accordance with TestMethod E 10.7.3 Requirements:7.3.1 Class A rail shall have a Brinell hardness o

16、f 248 to293, and Classes B and C shall have hardnesses of 269 to 321.7.4 RetestsIf the average depth of the impressions ob-tained on the head of the three specimens from any heat failsto conform to the requirements specified in 7.3, the manufac-turer may at his option retest the specimens, or each r

17、ail fromthat heat. Rails represented by retests which conform to therequirements of 7.3 shall be accepted.8.

(3.2 mm) from the specifiedoverall width of the head and tram will be permitted, but anyvariation that would affect the gage line more than132 in. (0.8mm) will not be permitted.8.1.4

19、The overall width of the base shall not vary under thatspecified more than18 in. (3.2 mm) for widths less than 612 in.(165 mm),316 in.
