United States17.1.2 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 The test shall be conducted

16、 in accordance with TestMethod E10.7.3 Requirements:7.3.1 Class A rail shall have a Brinell hardness of 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

17、the requirements specified in 7.3, the manufac-turer may at his option retest the specimens, or each rail fromthat heat. Rails represented by retests which conform to therequirements of 7.3 shall be accepted.8. Permissible Variations of Dimension, Weight, andOther Physical Attributes8.1 Section:8.1.

19、but anyvariation that would affect the gage line more than132 in. (0.8mm) will not be permitted.8.1.4 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. (4.8 mm) for a width of 612 in., and14 in.(6.35 mm) for a width

20、 of 7 in.

27、re than116 in. (1.6 mm), either longitudinally or verticallyfrom that specified. The location of the tie rod holes shall notvary more than14 in. (6.35 mm) vertically and not more than12 in. (12.7 mm) longitudinally from that specified.8.5.4 Bond holes shall be truly cylindrical and not conical.8.5.5

28、 Harmful fins and burrs at the edges of holes shall beremoved.8.6 PunchingUnless otherwise specified by the purchaser,the tie rod holes in Class A rails may be punched, and, when somade, they shall be free of burrs, fins, and so forth. Punched tierod holes shall not be less in diameter than specifie
