Repairs11.1 Castings made to this specification that leak on subse-quent hydrostatic testing may be repaired by using threadedplugs provided the following requirements are met.11.1.1 No welding or brazing shall be permitted.11.1.2 The diameter of the plug shall not
26、exceed thediameter of a standard 2-in. ISO R2 iron pipe size pipe plug.11.1.3 The plugs, where practical, shall conform in alldimensions to the standard iron pipe size pipe plugs. Inaddition, they shall have full thread engagement correspondingto the thickness of the repaired section. Where a tapere
27、d plugis impractical because of the excess wall thickness in terms ofplug diameter and coincident thread engagement, other typesof plugs may be used provided both full thread engagement andeffective sealing against pressure are obtained. Where possiblethe ends of the plugs should be ground smooth af

30、ion to the size of plug used shallbe not less than that given in Table 4.11.1.8 A repaired area may consist of a maximum of threeplugs with a spacing such that the distance between adjacentplugs shall not be less than those listed in Table 5. Adjacentareas of repair, in which each contains more than
31、 one plug,shall be separated by at least twice the distance required inTable 5 for the two nearest plugs separating the two areas.11.2 Surface imperfections not exceeding 20 % of the thick-ness of the section and other minor defects may be repaired byplugging provided the diameter of the plug does n

MECHANICA
38、L PROPERTIES OF CASTINGSX1.1 The mechanical properties of iron castings are influ-enced by the cooling rate during and after solidification, bychemical composition, by heat treatment, by the design of thecasting, by the design and nature of the mold, by the locationand effectiveness of gates and ris
39、ers, and by certain otherfactors.X1.2 The cooling rate in the mold and, therefore, theproperties developed in any particular section are influenced bythe presence of cores, chills and chaplets, changes in sectionthickness, and the existence of bosses, projections, andintersections, such as junctions
40、 of ribs and bosses. Because ofthe complexity of the interactions of these factors, no precisequantitative relationship can be stated between the propertiesof the iron in various locations of the same casting or betweenthe properties of a casting and those of a test specimen castfrom the same iron.
41、When such a relationship is important andmust be known for a specific application, it may be moreclosely ascertained by appropriate experimentation.X1.3 When reliable information is unavailable on the rela-tionship between properties in a casting and those in aseparately cast test specimen, and wher
42、e experimentationwould be unfeasible, the size of the test casting should be soselected as to approximate the thickness of the main orcontrolling section of the casting.ASTM International takes no position respecting the validity of any patent rights asserted in connection with any item mentionedin
43、this standard. Users of this standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any such patent rights, and the riskof infringement of such rights, are entirely their own responsibility.This standard is subject to revision at any time by the responsible technical committee and must
