For determining the hardenability of steel received in bars less
than 1.0 in. (25.4 mm) in diameter, the test specimen may be
0.75, 0.50, or 0.25 in. (19.0, 12.7, or 6.4 mm) in diameter by
3.0 or 4.0 in. (76.2 or 10.1.6 mm) in length. Fig. X1.1, in which
a 0.25-in. (6.4-mm) specimen is shown in position, shows a
suitable support for the smaller size specimens. These smaller
specimens shall be tested in accordance with 5 of the method
except that modifications are required in the water streams for
quenching. The orifice size and distance of the specimen from FIG. X1.2 Drilled Bar Specimen for Steel Available Only in

1416, and 1616 in. (15.9, 19.1, 22.2 and 25.4 mm) from the
quenched end. For readings to 816 in. from the quenched end,
two hardness traverses are made, both with readings 116 in.

the quenched end, and the other starting at 332 in. (2.4 mm) and

X1.3.3 Only two flats 180 apart need be ground if the
mechanical fixture has a grooved bed that will accommodate
the indentations of the flat surveyed first. The second hardness
traverse is made after turning the bar over. If the fixture does
not have such a grooved bed, two pairs of flats should be
ground, the flats of each pair being 180 apart. The two
hardness surveys are made on adjacent flats.
X1.3.4 For plotting test results, the standard form for
plotting hardenability curves (Fig. 4) should be used. Distances
