This section covers the bend testing of groove welds in buttjoints and the bend testing of surfacing welds. The standard givesthe requirements for bend test specimen preparation, testparameters and testing procedures but does not specify the bendradius requirements or acceptance criteria.
The base materials may be homogenous, clad or otherwisesurfaced, except for hardfacing.
This standard is applicable to the following, wherespecified:
(1) Qualification of materials, welding personnel and weldingprocedures
(2) Information, specifications of acceptance, manufacturingquality control
(3) Research and development
When this standard is used, the following information shall befurnished:
(1) The specific location and orientation of the specimens
(2) The specific types of tests, for example, face bend, sidebend or root bend and number of specimens required
(3) The type of data required and observations to be made
(4) Bend radius or percent (%) elongation
(5) Postweld thermal or mechanical processing treatments
Safety Precautions. Safety precautions shallconform to the latest edition of ANSI Z49.1, Safety in Welding,Cutting, and Allied Processes, published by the AmericanWelding Society.
Note: This standard may involve hazardous materials,operations, and equipment. The standard does not purport to addressall of the safety problems associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user to establish appropriate safety andhealth practices. The user should determine the applicability ofany regulatory limitations prior to use.
