We supplied SA 516 GR 485 with 316 Clad quenched and tempered plates. When reviewed the MTC, tension test applied only one sample for each plate but two tension test coupons shall be taken from each quenched and tempered plate as heat treated according to SA-20. Could you please explain number of test coupons?

Regards.
