EN 15614-1 - tensile test - full size specimen

EN 15614-1 - tensile test - full size specimen

(OP)
Hi
I work as a welding engineer. My question is:
Is it possible to carry out tensile testing in whole pipe (full section) instead of two spacemen as required in EN 15614-1 table 1?

Pipe: Ø26,7x2 mm
Joint: BW - full penetration
Material: Carbon Steel

Thank you.

RE: EN 15614-1 - tensile test - full size specimen

Hello,

if you base on ISO 15614-1-2004 you find in chapter 7.4.2 Transverse tensile test, 3rd item reads:

However, the relevant part concerning pipes is more correctly described in the german original of DIN EN ISO 15614-1:2012, which reads

translation of that part ... and when the full section of small pipes is used ...
"Small pipes" is meant to be in the sense of pipes with a small diameter, small not being quantified elsewhere.
So, if you reckon that you have a small diameter, you can decide it yourself to use the full section.

Seems to me, these two matters (ambiguous translation and nonquantified decision criteria) might be of interest to the CEN board, so if you're EU based, why not approach them from your professional position?

Regards
