v8 UG-84 CHARPY IMPACT TESTS (a) General, Charpy V-notch impact tests in accordance ‘with the provisions of this paragraph shall be made on ‘weldments and all materials for shells, heads, nozzles, and other vessel parts subject to stress due to pressure for which impact tests are required by the rules in Sub- section C, (0) Test Procedures (1) Impact test procedures and apparatus shall con- form to the applicable paragraphs of SA-370 or ISO 148 (Parts 1, 2, and 3). (2) Unless permitted by Table UG-84.4, impact test temperature shall not be warmer than the minimum de- sign metal temperature [see UG-20(b)]. The test tempera- ture may be colder than the minimum specified in the material specification of Section IL (o) Test Specimens (2) Each set of impact test specimens shall consist of three specimens. (2) The impact test specimens shall be of the Charpy ‘V-notch type and shall conform in all respects to Figure UG-84. The standard (10 mm x 10 mm) specimens, when obtainable, shall be used for nominal thicknesses of “hs in. (11 mm) or greater, except as otherwise permitted in Ca) below. (a) For materials that normally have absorbed ‘energy in excess of 180 ft-Ibf (240 J) when tested using full size (10 mm x 10 mm) specimens at the specified test- ing temperature, subsize (10 mm x 6.7 mm) specimens may be used in lieu of full size specimens. However, when this option is used, the acceptance value shall be 75 ft-lb! (100 J) minimum for each specimen and the lateral expan- sion in mils (mm) shall be reported. (3) For material from which full size (10 mm x 10 mm) specimens cannot be obtained, either due to the material shape or thickness, the specimens shall be Figure UG-84 ‘Simple Beam Impact Test Specimens (Charpy Type Test) 0.316 in. 18 mm) 2.106 in.

Toughness tests are not re- ‘quired where the maximum obtainable Charpy specimen has a width along the notch less than 0.099 in. (2.5 mm). (A) See below. a) Except for materials produced and impact, tested in accordance with the requirements in the speci- fications listed in General Note (c) of Figure UG-84.1, the applicable minimum energy requirement for all speci men sizes for Table UCS-23 materials having a specified minimum tensile strength less than 95,000 psi (655 MPa) shall be that shown in Figure UG-84.1, mult plied by the ratio of the actual specimen width along, the notch to the width of a full-size (10 mm x 10 mm) specimen, except as otherwise provided in (2)(-a) above. (Cb) The applicable minimum lateral expansion opposite the notch for all specimen sizes for Table UCS-23 materials, having a specified minimum tensile strength of 95,000 psi (655 MPa) or more, shal be as re- quired in UHT-6(a)(3) and UH'T-6(a)(4). For UHT materi als, all requirements of UHT-6(a)(3) and UNT-6(a)(4) shall apply. For‘Table UHA-23 materials, all requirements of UHA-51 shall apply. (5) For all Charpy impact tests the following test tem- perature criteria shall be observed: 6a)_For Materials of Nominal Thickness Equal to or Greater Than 0.394 in. (10 mm). Where the largest ob tainable Charpy V-notch specimen has a width along the notch of at least 0.315 in, (8 mm), the Charpy test using such a specimen shall be conducted at a temperature not warmer than the minimum design metal temperature." Where the largest possible test specimen has a width along the notch less than 0.315 in. (8 mm), the test shall be conducted at a temperature lower than the minimum design metal temperature” by the amount shown in Table UG-84.2 for that specimen width. [This latter requirement does not apply when the option of (2)(-a) above is used} (4b). For Materials of Nominal Thickness Less Than 0.394 in. (10 mm). Where the largest obtainable Charpy ‘V-notch specimen has a width along the notch of at least £80% ofthe material nominal thickness, the Charpy test of| such a specimen shall be conducted at a temperature not warmer than the minimum design metal temperature.”* Where the largest possible test specimen has a width along the notch of less than 80% of the material nominal thickness, the test, for Table UCS-23 materials having specified minimum tensile strength of less than 95,000 psi (655 MPa), shall be conducted at a ASME BPVGVIIL-2015 uc-es Figure UG-84.1 as) ‘Charpy V-Notch Impact Test Requirements for Full-Size Specimens for Carbon and Low Alloy Steels, Having a Specified Minimum Tensile Strength of Less Than 95 ksi Listed in Table UCS-23 © | ” - vito sen i ei Fa | ot ee 3 | é | =~ ___—__- “ 2 Tt ° A *4 — a < _ | | | | 0 ~ ° | 00398 os 10 15 20 2 | axiom Nominal Thickness of Ms extra nores: | fo) Inerpoltionberwen i strengths shown i permite I) The minimum impact energy fr one specimen sal not be less than 7 ofthe average energy Fegulred fr three specimens The aerage| Impl energy vl of ttre specimens may be ounded tthe nearest feb, 0) Matra! prouced and impact ested in accordance wth S320, S433, S4-334 SAS SA 352,SA-420, pac tested SA/AS 1548 (1 impo designation) S79 40 (except for mater reduced under Tale 2, Note tin S540) and S765 dona havet say these energy vale, Se UCS-6(8) a) For materi having a speciedinimum tensile strength of 95 sor more, see UG8(EK4N) Nore a) Average of hee spectens. 65 ues ASME BPVCVIIL1-2015 as) Figure UG-84.1M Charpy V-Notch Impact Test Requirements for Full-Size Specimens for Carbon and Low Alloy Steels, Having a Specified Minimum Tensile Strength of Less Than 655 MPa, Listed in Table UCS-23 Cy + — Minimum specitied j Vield strength : | $s aso
