Try to get hold of a copy of an old book published by Mechanical Engineering Publications Limited London
"A General Introduction to Fracture Mechanics"
ISBN 0 85298 383 2
Good summary of various fracture mechanics tests including CTOD and the application of the results.
 
To start with you may refer to API 1104 (Line pipe standard)Appendix A. By going through this you would also understand as why this test is called for. Secondly try o get hold of BS 7448. This standard would provide you the method of performing the CTOD.


Good Luck
