A WPS which combines FCAW-S with another welding process shall be specifically tested to assure CVN test criteria are met at the interface between the weld deposits. b The alternate number of specimens allowed per test location is five. The highest and lowest values shall be discarded to minimize some of the scatter normally associated with CVN testing of welds and HAZs. c Test temperatures shall be specified in contract documents or specifications. When sub-sized specimens are required, and the width of the specimens across the notch is less than 80% of the base metal thickness, the test temperature shall be reduced in conformance with Table 4.15. d Full size specimens shall be used when test material is 7/16 in [11 mm] or thicker. Sub-sized specimens shall be used when test material thickness is less than 7/16 in [11 mm], or when weldment geometry prohibits the removal of full sized samples. e Applicable in welds between base materials with a specified minimum yield strength (SMYS) of 50 ksi [345 MPa] or less. Acceptance criteria for welds between materials exceeding SYMS of 50 ksi [345 MPa] shall be specified in the contract documents or specifications. f Values for percent shear and lateral expansion shall be recorded when specified in the contract documents or specifications.
Example: If design drawings or specifications indicate that CVN tests shall be performed at 32F [0C] and 10 mm 5 mm sub-sized specimens are used; the actual test temperature would be 12F [11C]. Note: The reduction in the minimum acceptance energy values for sub-sized specimens shall be determined in conformance with ASTM A 370a-97, Table 9.
