lateral expansion value of the steel are higher than those specified in Table 1, the

e) The lateral expansion value of the Charpy impact specimen is determined in
accordance with the provisions of GB/T 229.The qualified index of the lateral
expansion value of the impact specimen has nothing to do with the size of the
impact specimen.
f) For low alloy steel plates and forgings with impact test temperature of -40 °C ~ -
100 °C, the transformation temperature Tt can be determined according to GB/T
229 (such as. the transformation temperature Tt47 determined by the specified
absorption energy value of 47 J, the transformation temperature Tt50%US

50%, the transformation temperature Tt0.53 determined by the specified lateral
