AS/NZS 2205.3.1:2020 pdf download.Destructive tests on welds inmetallic materials Method 3.1: Bend tests.

When a relevant application standard requires testing of a full thickness > 10 mm, several test specimens may be taken in order to cover the full thickness of the joint as indicated in Figure 9.

In such cases, the location of the test specimen in the welded joint thickness shall be identified.

5.6.2 Transverse side bend tests of a butt weld (SBB) See Figures 3 and ifi.

For side bend tests, the test specimen width, b, shall be equal to the thickness of the base material of the welded joint. The

specimen shall have a thickness, t, of at least (10 ± 0,5) mm, unless otherwise specified in the relevant application standard.

When the joint thickness exceeds 40 mm, it is permissible to split the specimen in the plane of the test piece thickness as shown

in Figure 10. In these cases the location of the test specimen in the welded joint thickness shall be identified.

5.6.3 Longitudinal bend tests of a butt weld (LFBB and LRBB) See Figure 4.
