Test Location for SA-182-F11 Flange
Test Location for SA-182-F11 Flange
(OP)
I wish to do Charpy testing on flanges taken from some large 600# valves, grade F11 material. SA-182 and SA-961 (for common requirements) give no guidance, other than "by agreement between etc."
Is there any convention for this? If not I expect I would take samples from one of the fatter regions. BTW it is not for material certification but a post-mortem.

Concur with your idea that the thicker areas will be a poor, non-representative choice.
