1 Scope
This document gives guidelines for the simplification and harmonization of the specifications for mechanical testing of open die and closed die forgings in International Standards and other technical delivery conditions for forgings of steel.
This document
a) offers various options for
1) the frequency of testing, and
2) sampling conditions,
b) introduces a designation system for the options, mentioned under (a), and
c) specifies the test methods for
1) room temperature tensile tests,
2) elevated temperature tensile tests,
3) impact tests, and
4) uniformity checks by hardness tests.
BSI recommends this version of standard for organisations operating in or with the UK. The ISO edition is available here if required.
