SAE INTERNATIONAL AMS4261G Page 5 of 7 4.2 Classification of Tests 4.2.1 Acceptance Tests Except as specified in 4.2.1.1, composition (3.1), tensile properties of separately-cast specimens (3.6.1.1), and quality (3.7) are acceptance tests and shall be performed to represent each m

33、elt or heat treat lot as applicable. 4.2.1.1 Tensile properties of specimens cut from a casting or from integrally-cast coupons shall be determined when specified by purchaser or when separately-cast specimens are not available. Tensile properties of separately-cast specimens need not be determined

34、when tensile properties of specimens cut from a casting or from integrally-cast coupons are determined. 4.2.2 Periodic Tests Radiographic inspection (3.7.3) following the establishment of process control (4.4.2) is a periodic test and shall be performed at a frequency selected by the producer unless

35、 frequency of testing is specified by purchaser. 4.2.3 Preproduction Tests All technical requirements are preproduction tests and shall be performed on the first-article shipment of a casting to a purchaser, when a change in material and/or processing requires reapproval as in 4.4.2, and when purcha
