EN 876:1995
(Main)Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Longitudinal tensile test on weld metal in fusion welded joints
General Information
- Abstract
This standard 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 standard applies to metallic materials in all forms of product with joints made by any fusion welding process, having joint that are sufficient to obtain cylindrical test specimens with dimensions in accordance with EN 10002-1. Unless otherwise specified for specific points in this standard, the general principles of EN 10002-1 shall apply.
