D1.1 performance test qual
D1.1 performance test qual
(OP)
I have a test plate welded in the 1G position, it is a 1" A36 test plate with a 45 degree bevel and 1/4" backing. I am performing two side bends, does the backing need to be removed? My test sample is prepared in accordance to Figure 4.13 and the test jig was built in conformance to Figure 4.15.





RE: D1.1 performance test qual
The question becomes, "how important is it that the test bends pass without corner cracking?"

Where does AWS specify whether longitudinal or transverse bend test is required.
Thanks
