NOTE:
(1) This test in itself does not constitute procedure qualification but must be validated by conductance of tests of butt or lap joints as appropriate.
For joints connecting tension members, such as the stay or partition type in QB-462.5, the validation data may be based upon butt joints;
for joints connecting members in shear, such as saddle or spud joints, the validation data may be based on lap joints.

(2) peel or section specimens for lap joints
(3) section specimens for rabbet joints
(b) For coupons 3 in. (75 mm) O.D. and smaller, two coupons shall be brazed and one specimen shall be removed from each coupon. If brazed
in the horizontal flow position, the specimen shall be taken at specimen location No. 1. Alternatively, each coupon shall be cut longitudinally
and the specimen shall consist of both sides of one half-section of each coupon.
(c) When coupon is brazed in the horizontal flow position, specimens locations shall be as shown relative to the horizontal plane of the coupon,
and for half-section specimens, plane of cut shall be oriented as shown relative to the horizontal plane of the coupon.
