39、test shall be made on one end of 1 % ofthe number of finished tube lengths from each lot. For less than100 tubes in a lot, a flare test shall be made on one end of onetube length in the lot.

42、structive electric test. The type of test to be used shall be at theoption of the manufacturer, unless otherwise specified in thepurchase order.6.5.1 Hydrostatic Test:6.5.1.1 Each tube with an outside diameter18 in.
