8.4.1 Test Piece
A test piece 50mm or over in length shall be cut off from one end of a tube. For the tube of wall thickness 15 %
or over of its outside diameter, a test piece made into C-shape by removing part of the circumference of a full-
section test piece may be used.
8.4.2 Test Method
The test piece shall be placed between two flat plates, flattened by compression at ordinary temperature until the
distance between the plates comes to the specified in Table 3, and checked for the tance welded steel tubesand
butt-welded steel tubes, the weld shall be placed at right angles to the direction of compression as shown in Fig.
1. Further, a C-shape test piece shall be placed as shown in Fig. 2.
