ASTM E 292 and of smooth specimens in accordance with ASTM E 139:

3.4.1.2.3.1 A standard, cylindrical, combination smooth-and-notched specimen conforming to

ASTM E 292, maintained at 73O°C ± 2 while a load sufficient to produce an initial axial stress
of 515 MPa is applied continuously, shall not rupture in less than 23 hours. The test shall be
continued to rupture without change of load. After the 23 hours, if rupture occurs in the notch,
the smooth section shall, by suitable means, be continued to rupture or a separate smooth
specimen shall be tested to rupture under the above conditions. Elongation of the smooth
section after rupture, measured at room temperature, shall be not less than 8% in 4D.

3.4.1.2.3.2 As an alternate procedure, separate smooth and notched specimens, machined from
adjacent sections of the same piece, with gage sections conforming to the respective
dimensions shown in ASTM E 292, may be tested individually under the conditions of
3.4.1.2.3.1. The smooth specimen shall not rupture in less than 23 hours and elongation
after rupture, measured at room temperature, shall be not less than 8% in 4D. The notched
specimen shall not rupture in less than 23 hours but need not be tested to rupture.

3.4.1.2.3.3 The tests of 3.4.1.2.3.1 and 3.4.1.2.3.2 may be conducted using a load higher than required
to produce an initial axial stress of 515 MPa but load shall not be changed while test is in
progress. Time to rupture, rupture location, and elongation requirements shall be as
specified in 3.4.1.2.3.1.

3.4.1.2.3.4 When permitted by purchaser, the tests of 3.4.1.2.3.1 and 3.4.1.2.3.2 may be conducted
using incremental loading. In such case, the load required to produce an initial axial stress of
515 MPa shall be used to rupture or for 23 hours, whichever occurs first. After the 23 hours
and at intervals of 8 - 16 hours, preferably 8 - 10 hours, thereafter, the stress shall be
increased in increments of 35 MPa. Time to rupture, rupture location, and elongation
requirements shall be specified in 3.4.1.2.3.1.

3.4.2 Forging Stock: When a sample of stock is forged to a test coupon and heat treated as 3.3 and
3.4.1.2, specimens taken from the heat treated coupon shall conform to the requirements of
3.4.1.2.1, 3.4.1.2.2, and 3.4.1.2.3. If specimens taken from the stock after heat treatment as in 3.3
and 3.4.1.2 conform to the requirements of 3.4.1.2.1, 3.4.1.2.2, and 3.4.1.2.3, the tests shall be
accepted as equivalent to tests of a forged coupon.

agreed upon by purchaser and vendor.

3.5.4 Grain flow of die forgings, except in areas which contain flash-line end grain, shall follow the
general contour of the forging showing no evidence of re-entrant grain flow.

3.6 Sizes:

Except when exact lengths or multiples of exact lengths are ordered, straight bars will be acceptable
in mill lengths of 2 - 7.5 m but not more than 25% of any shipment shall be supplied in lengths of
2 - 3 m except that for bars weighing over 35 kg/m, short lengths down to 600 mm may be supplied.
