Number of Tests and Retests10.1 The number of tension tests and the number of micro-structural examinations shall be agreed upon between themanufacturer and purchaser.10.2 If any tension test
20、 specimen shows obvious defects, itmay be discarded and another from the same coupon may betested.11. Test Methods11.1 Conduct the tension test in accordance with TestMethods E8.11.2 Determine the yield strength using one of the followingmethods:11.2.1 The 0.2 % offset method, or11.2.2 Extension und
21、er load method where the yieldstrength may be determined as the stress producing an elonga-tion under load of 0.330 %, that is, 0.0066 in. 0.165 mm in agage length of 2 in. 50 mm.11.3 Determine the percent of each graphite nodule type bymanual coating, semi-automatic, or automatic image analysismeth
