RETEST OF IMPACT

Date 09-23-2008 05:42

FOR RETEST OF IMPACT AS PER A370, SEC 26.1.1.2 ".......EACH INDIVIDUAL TEST VALUE OF THE RETESTED SPECIMENS( A SET OF THREE SPECIMENS) SHALL BE EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE SPECIFIED MIN AVERAGE VALUE". ONE OF OUR TEST SHOWS INDIVIDUAL MINIMUM 12J (AGAINST REQUIRED INDIVIDUAL 13J) SO WE PLANNED FOR A RETEST. NOW WHAT IS THE INDIVIDAUL VALUES REQUIRED FOR 3 SPECIMENS (13J OR AVGE VALUE 20J). LITTLE CONFUSED.

If your minimum average is 20J then each individual specimen must be at least 20J as well for retests.

Unless I misunderstand, you answered your own question.
"EACH INDIVIDUAL TEST VALUE OF THE RETESTED SPECIMENS SHALL BE EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN THE SPECIFIED MIN AVERAGE VALUE".
So whatis your 'specified' minimum average value?
This is pretty standard for all codes. Once you bust one your allowed individual mins now become the original average mins.

He said average value of 20J.
