DR AS/NZS 2205.3.1:2024 Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials, Method 3.1: Bend tests

The objective of this document is to specify a method for making transverse root, face and side bend tests on test specimens taken from butt welds, butt welds with cladding (subdivided into welds in clad plates and clad welds) and cladding without butt welds, in order to reveal imperfections on or near the surface of the test specimen which is under tension during bend testing and/or assess ductility. It also gives the dimensions of the test specimen.

This document is identical with, and has been reproduced from, ISO 5173:2023, Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials — Bend tests.

This document is intended to be used as a reference in the drafting of application codes and/or other application standards. It contains a simplified selection of fusion weld imperfections based on the designations given in ISO 6520-1.

This fourth edition cancels and replaces the third edition (ISO 5817:2014), which has been technically revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— editorial updates;
— actual throat thickness aA, used in Table 1, nos 1.3, 1.4, 1.16 and 3.2;
— figures for Table 1, nos 1.4, 1.5, 1.6, 1.11, 1.14, 1.16, 1.19, 2.12, 2.13 and 4.1 changed or added;
— Table 1, no. 4.1: exclusion of several imperfections and change of acceptance criteria;
