ISO 898-1:2013 actually calls for a V notch Charpy test to be carried out at -20 deg c, not at -40 deg c as per table 3. there is an issue whereby the table reference the requirement as 27J, however there is no reference to this being an average minimum nor to the requirement that no single...
Within the above standard the Charpy Impact requirement is listed as min 27 j, however there is nothing to indicate whether this is a single minimum requirement or an average minimum requirement.
I have checked through BS 5S100 which is referenced(and BS 6S100 just in case)but I cannot locate...
