NOTE 2Weld reinforcement and backing strip or backing ring, if any, shall be removed flush with the surface of the specimen. The specimen shall
be machined to a thickness, T, which must be specified in relation to t. If a recessed ring is used, this surface of the specimen may be machined to a depth
not exceeding the depth of the recess to remove the ring, except that in such cases the thickness of the finished specimen shall meet the specified
relationship to t. Do not flame-cut nonferrous material. When the original wall thickness of pipe exceeds 38 in. (9.5 mm), excess material shall be
machined from the inside surface of face-bend specimens and the outside surface of root-bend specimens. For Boiler Code nonferrous materials, see Table
QN-8, Section IX on Welding Qualifications of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, 1965.
