              1) Specimen orientation at the option of the manufacturer unless otherwise specified in the order.

              No more than one value below the specified minimum average energy, but no less than 70% of the specified minimum average energy value.

              Minimum average energy for full-size specimens. Refer to ASTM A131 for sub-size specimen energy requirements.
