The diagram below shows the grain direction for longitudinal and transverse charpy tests. If the grain direction for the charpy test is not in either of the orientations shown, but is instead coming out of the page (orthogonal to both orientations shown), would that also be classified as a transverse test or would it be something else?

There is ST (short transverse, such as the thickness of a plate) and LT (long transverse, such as the width of a plate).
In tubular products there is radial and circumferential, both of these are transverse but they are different.
