BS EN ISO 11125-1:2018 - Preparing Test Pieces for Mechanical Testing of Welds

Overview

BS EN ISO 11125-1:2018 is the first part of a comprehensive series of standards that outline the methods for preparing test pieces for mechanical testing of welds. This standard, identical to ISO 11125-1:2018, provides a standardised approach to specimen preparation, ensuring consistent and reliable results for evaluating the quality and integrity of welded joints.

Key Benefits

• Ensures consistent and repeatable test results for welded joints, enabling accurate evaluation of weld quality
• Supports compliance with industry regulations and standards, demonstrating the safety and performance of welded structures
• Facilitates effective quality control and troubleshooting during the welding process
• Applicable to a wide range of materials, including steel, aluminium, and other metallic alloys

Scope and Application

BS EN ISO 11125-1:2018 specifies the methods for preparing test pieces for mechanical testing of welds, including the selection, marking, cutting, and conditioning of the specimens. The standard covers a variety of test types, such as tensile, impact, and bend tests, and provides guidance on the appropriate specimen dimensions and orientation.

This standard is an essential reference for welding professionals, quality control personnel, and engineers involved in the design, fabrication, and testing of welded structures across a range of industries, including construction, transportation, and energy.
