iii. Standard Macro Streak Flaw Test ( JIS & IS chart diagram for Macro Streak Flaw Test
).

3. REFERENCE TEST METHOD STANDARD:-

i. JIS G0556

ii IS 4075

iii. TSG2105G

4. RESPONSIBILITY:- R & D Lab

5. INSTRUCTION:-
To obtain a reasonable estimate of of Macro Streak Flaw within heat at least
Six samples/ heat.Cut samples on band saw machine suitably 300 mm Length approx & Punch heat
no./sample no. for identification.
In the step-down test method, the number & Distribution of macro streak flaws which can be
seen in the longitudinal direction of the surface of a cylindrical step down test specimen
presented by cutting, are measured round section steel materials which are rolled or forged, are
generally finish with machining to dimensions as given in table no 1.

The length & the number micro-streak-flaws shall be measured on the finished surface of each step of a
test specimen.
The length & the number micro-streak-flaws shall be always measured with the naked eye or a
magnifying lens with a magnification less than or equal to x 10. In this case .if two macro streak flow
exits adjacent each other ,they shall be estimated as one micro streak flaw when the distance is not
more than 0.5 mm or when the space is not more than 0.2 mm.
The macro streak flaw shall be determined by its length & number.
The length of the macro streak flaw shall be indicated by notation of the macro streak flaw shown in
table 3.
Table No. :-3 Number of micro-streak-flaw
