The coupon shall conform substantially to thedimensions shown in Fig. 1 and shall have remained attached,without partial severi

28、ng, to its special block until after all heattreatment for final properties.10.3 Test specimens may be cut from heat-treated castingsinstead of from test coupons when agreed upon between themanufacturer and the purchaser.10.4 Tension test specimens shall be machined to the formand dimensions of the
