Which type of test conducted at the temperature prescribed for the base material being joined?
Direct Answer
Option D: Charpy V-notch impact tests
Charpy V-notch impact tests are critical for verifying the toughness of materials at cryogenic temperatures. IGF Code mandates these tests at the base material's design temperature to ensure the steel remains ductile and resistant to brittle fracture, which is essential for the safe containment of low-flashpoint fuels.
