Use as DefaultIf set to yes, when the Specified Strength (PSI) value falls into this range, the Capping Method value will auto populate with the Code.
Min Specified StrengthLower bound for the specified strength range which will assign a default value.

Example of using a the default setting

When entering test data for a cylinder, cylinders that have a value between the minimum and maximum specified strength setting will receive the associated Break Remark.

  1. So if we have 6000-10000 as the range for the Sulfur capping method, any value in that range will be auto populated with the S capping method.

     2. Since the specimen we're testing had a specified strength value of 7000; the capping method will be set as an S automatically.  Note: You can still change this value manually on the screen.
