Requirements5.1 The steel shall conform to the requirements for chemicalcomposition specified in Table

15、1.5.2 Heat or Cast AnalysisAn analysis of each heat or castshall be made by the manufacturer to determine the percent-ages of the elements specified in Table 1. The analysis shall bemade from a test sample taken preferably during the pouring ofthe heat. The chemical composition thus determined shall

16、conform to the heat-cast requirements of Table 1.5.3 Product AnalysisAn analysis may be made by thepurchaser from a finished bolt or nut. The chemical composi-tion thus determined shall conform to the product requirementsof Table 1. Note that rephosphorized or resulfurized material isnot subject to

17、rejection based on product analysis for theseelements.6.

18、rements specified in Table 4 orTable 5.6.1.2 Full-section and reduced-section bolt tension testsshall be performed as described in Test Methods F 606.6.1.3 Nuts shall be tested by assembling the nut on the gradebolt with which it is to be used, and testing as described underthe full-section tension

19、test for bolts in Test Methods F 606.6.1.4 The bolt-nut assembly shall be capable of reaching theminimum load specified in Table 4 before failure of theassembly.6.2 Number of Tests:6.2.1 Grade 1 BoltsOne full-section tension test shall bemade by the manufacturer from each lot of bolts. Each lot shal

20、lconsist of not more than one heat of steel, nor be greater than10 tons (9.7 Mg).6.2.2 Grade 2 BoltsOne full-section tension test and onereduced-section tension test shall be made by the manufacturerfrom each lot of bolts. Each lot shall consist of not more thanone heat of steel, heat-treated in the

21、 same furnace load in abatch heat-treating operation or under the same conditions in acontinuous heat-treating operation, with no lot to exceed 10tons (9.7 Mg).6.3 Retests:6.3.1 Grade 1 BoltsIf the result of the full-section tensiontest of any lot does not conform to the specified requirement,two bo

22、lts shall be selected from the same lot for tension tests.If the results of both tests conform to the specified require-ments, the lot shall be accepted.6.3.2 Grade 2 BoltsIf the result of the full-section orreduced-section tension tests of any lot does not conform to thespecified requirements, the

23、manufacturer may re-heat treatsuch lot, not more than two times, in which case two additionalfull-section and two additional reduced-section tension testsshall be made from the retreated lot. If all retest resultsconform to the specified requirements, the lot shall be ac-cepted.6.3.3 If the percenta

24、ge of elongation of any reduced sectiontest specimen is less than that specified and any part of thefracture is more than34 in. (19 mm) from the center of the gagelength, a retest shall be allowed.6.3.4 If during the full-section tension test a flaw is detectedin the bolt or nut that does not permit

25、 attainment of the testrequirements, the manufacturer shall be permitted to conductsorting or other reconditioning to eliminate the material con-taining that flaw, after which the test shall be repeated.TABLE 1 Chemical RequirementsElement, %Bolts NutsGrade 1 Grade 2 Grade 1 Grade 2Heat-Cast Product
