Welding procedure qualification – solution via room temperature tensile test
Thread Content
The technical specifications require \"2 tensile tests at room temperature: one on fully penetrated metal with its axis parallel to the weld axis, and the other on a welded joint with its axis perpendicular to the weld axis.\" I just want to know how to perform tensile testing on \"fully welded metal with its axis parallel to the weld axis\" How should sheets and pipes be sampled so that their axis is parallel to the weld axis?
Tension parallel to the weld axis means that the weld extends along the entire length direction of the test plate. Plates can be made, but tubes cannot.
Should it be done in accordance with the full-weld metal tensile test specimens specified in welding test plates NB/T47016-2011?
