BS EN ISO 5178:2019

This standard BS EN ISO 5178:2019 Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials. Longitudinal tensile test on weld metal in fusion welded joints is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.160.40 Welded joints and welds

This document specifies the sizes of test specimens and the test procedure for carrying out longitudinal tensile tests on cylindrical test specimens in order to determine the mechanical properties of weld metal in a fusion welded joint.

This document applies to metallic materials in all forms of product with joints made by any fusion welding process, having joint sizes that are sufficient to obtain cylindrical test specimens with dimensions in accordance with ISO 6892‑1.

Unless specified otherwise for specific points in this document, the general principles of ISO 6892‑1 apply.
