Weld Tensile Testing Equipment

Face root side bends and sub size specimens.

Weld tensile testing equipment.

A typical weld specimen is 1 wide and 4 long. Helpful stuff faq boring stuff privacy policy t cs. Non destructive testing ndt and destructive testing. Our products including weld bend testers weld tensile testers and welding coupons are used throughout the united states and by many countries around the world.

This type of physical weld testing is used to measure the strength of a welded joint. Tensile weld test performed in workshop is a type of physical weld testing device. Testing for tensile strength involves placing a weld sample in a tensile testing machine and pulling on the test sample until it breaks. Single holding fixture accommodates complete range of test straps.

Our state of the art nondestructive ndt inspection and testing machines are compact portable operate in field and easy to use. Some welding specifications like aws d17 2 require tensile testing sample specimens to qualify the machinery. For weld certification and qualification sawyer s line of weld inspection and tensile testing equipment is hard to beat and the 50 ton guided bend and tensile tester is no exception. Fischer engineering company has been providing welding engineering testing products and services to fabricators manufacturers and laboratories since 1976.

Figure 7 70 standard tensile test specimen. A portion of a to locate the welded plate is locate the weld midway between the jaws of the testing machine figure 1306. Weld testing can broadly be broken down into two different types. Reduces cost by eliminating grinders consumables barricades and electrical consumption.

To test a small diameter tube a solid bar is inserted in the bore of the tube to prevent the tube collapsing when the sample is clamped into the tensile machine. Destructive testing measures the physical properties of base metals and components in order to better understand a material s performance under certain conditions. The essential features of a tensile testing machine are the parts that pull the test specimen and the devices that measure the resistance of the test specimen. Most weld testing is carried out with cj specimens but longitudinally oriented specimens are useful particularly where the weld metal or the haz is very strong but ductility is low.

Greatly reduces preparation time of weld test specimens prior to bend testing. The overlap is typically 1 making a welded specimen that is 6 7 inches in length.
