Question 8 of 25.

Based on the information given, for CVN testing which of the following is not true?
When the requirements of a test are not met, one re-test may be performed.
For the above specimen, with a min. yield of 52ksi (358Mpa), the minimum Average absorbed energy
should be 20ft-lbf (27J).
The test may have 5 specimens which are averaged to reduce the scatter associated with CVN testing.
For the normal 3 specimen CNV, the individual values are acceptable as recorded, 21, 17 & 14ft-lbf (
28.5, 23, 19 J)
For material measuring 9/16” (11mm) the test specimen shall be 10X10mm.
