ASTM 684/A684M-10a Bend Test Method

[dbulak]

As part of ASTM A684/A684M-10a, it calls for a bend test to be done. This bend test is to be done as described in Test Methods and Definitions A370. With out having to buy the standard, does anyone know how this bend test should be done?
As always, thanks in advance.

You're probably going to need the standard, and perhaps a test fixture. IIRC, the testing involves bending a specimen around a mandrel of a specific size and then examining the bend for cracks.
