Destructive tests are mandatory in welding procedure qualification (WPQR), welder examinations and material acceptance. We manage the whole process, from producing the test coupons under welding supervision to testing in accredited partner laboratories and evaluating the results against the standard requirements.
Test scope
- Transverse tensile test (EN ISO 4136) and material tensile test (EN ISO 6892-1)
- Bend test — root, face and side bends (EN ISO 5173)
- Charpy impact test — weld metal and HAZ (EN ISO 9016, EN ISO 148-1)
- Macro and micro examination (EN ISO 17639)
- Hardness survey (EN ISO 9015-1)
- Fracture test for fillet welds and welder examinations (EN ISO 9017)
- Chemical analysis and material verification
We prepare the specimen extraction plan according to EN ISO 15614-1 or AWS D1.1 / ASME IX and integrate the laboratory reports into the WPQR documentation.
