If heat treatment is performed in a continuous orbatch-type furnace controlled within a range of plus-or-minus25 F 14 C and equipped with calibrated thermocouples andrecording pyrometers, and records of heat treatment are main-tained, all fitti
30、ngs heat treated in such a furnace are consideredto be in one charge. For furnaces not so equipped andcontrolled, each batch constitutes a charge.7.1.2.2 Representative Test PieceFor instances in whichthe tension test specimen cannot be obtained from a fitting dueto size limitations, a representativ
31、e test piece may be used. Thetest piece shall be from the same heat and shall be heat treatedin the same heat treatment batch or charge as the fittings itrepresents, and shall have had approximately the same amountof working as the fittings. In addition, for fittings manufacturedfrom bars, plate, or
