Cupon location - Yield strees eveluation
(OP)
We need to verify the Fy Yield Strength/Stress of an old steel roof beam, may I ask where do we typically and safely can take the coupon for the test? Flange? Web? Near support? Away of support?
How much we need to take?
Any code provisions?
And secondly what companies do the test for us? In U.S.
Thank you so much

When I've done this with simple span beams you take the sample from the bottom flange of the end of the beam.

Thank you for your responses.
How much is enough for a coupon? Size?
What are the allowed methods to take the coupon? Torch cut?
Does ASTM has any words on that? AISC says anything?
Thanks

Find your lab and ask them how big/small they need, what length, etc.
