3. Heat Treatment

1. All castings shall receive a heat treatment proper to their design and chemical composition.
2. ASTM A217 castings shall be furnished in the normalized and tempered conditions; Grades WC1, WC4, WC5, WC6, and CA15 shall be tempered at 1100°F [595°C] min; Grades WC9, C5, C12, and WC11 shall be tempered at 1250°F [675°C] min; Grade C12A shall be thermally treated, either by normalizingand-tempering or by accelerated cooling from the austenitizing temperature by air blasting or liquid quenching, followed by tempering. C12A castings shall be austenitized at 1900-1975°F [1040-1080°C] and tempered at 1350-1470°F [730-800°C].
3. Heat treatment shall be performed after castings have been allowed to cool below the transformation range.

4. Quality Control

1. The surface of ASTM A217 castings (either valve, flange, fittings or other piping component) shall be visually examined and shall be free of sand, scale, cracks, and hot tears.
2. Hollow castings of Grade C12A, larger than NPS 4 [DN 100], and whose internal surfaces are not accessible to the visual examination above-mentioned, shall be examined by the ultrasonic examination prescribed in Supplementary Requirement S7.
