(VIII-2 Figure 3.3)Charpy V-Notch impact test requirements for full-size specimens for carbon and low alloy steels as a function of
the specified minimum yield strengthParts not subject to PWHT.Notes: (1) Interpolation between yield strength values is
permitted.(2) The minimum impact energy for one specimen shall not be less than two-thirds of the average impact energy required
for three specimens.(3) Materials produced and impact tested in accordance with SA-320, SA-333, SA-334, SA-350, SA-352, SA-420,
SA-437, SA-508 Grade 5 Class 2, SA-540 (except for materials produced under Table , Note 4 in the specification), SA-723, and SA-
765 do not have to satisfy these energy values. Materials produced to these specifications are acceptable for use at a minimum
design metal temperature not colder than the test temperature when the energy values required by the applicable specification are
satisfied.(4) If the material specified minimum tensile strength is greater than or equal to 655 MPa (95 ksi), then the material
toughness requirements shall be in accordance with VIII-2, Part 3, paragraph 3.11.2.1.b.2.(5) Data of Fig. are shown in VIII-2, Part 3,
Table 3.12.(6) Data of Fig. are shown in VIII-2, Part 3, Table 3.13.(7) See VIII-2, Part 3, paragraph 3.11.2.1.b.1 for Charpy V-notch
specimen thicknesses less than 10 mm (0.394 in.)
