1. Scope
1.1 This test method covers a guided bend test for the
determination of soundness and ductility of welds in ferrous
and nonferrous products. Flaws, not shown by X rays, may
appear in the surface of a specimen when it is subjected to
progressive localized overstressing. This guided bend test has
been developed primarily for plates and is not intended to be
substituted for other methods of bend testing.

7. Sampling
7.1 Sample accord with the requirements of relevant specifications and codes.
8. Test Specimens
8.1 The types of specimens generally used for guided bend
testing are rectangular ones machined from plates and pipes.
The weld-face surface of the flat specimen contains the greater
width of the weld material, while the opposite side is called the
weld-root surface.
8.1.1 Transverse Side BendThe weld is transverse to the
longitudinal axis of the specimen, which is bent so that either
one of the side surfaces becomes the convex surface of the bent
specimen (Fig. 2 and Fig. 3).
8.1.2 Transverse Face BendThe weld is transverse to the
longitudinal axis of the specimen, which is bent so that the
weld-face surface becomes the convex surface of the bent
specimen (Fig. 4).
8.1.3 Transverse Root BendThe weld is transverse to the
longitudinal axis of the specimen, which is bent so that the
weld-root surface becomes the convex surface of the bent
specimen (Fig. 4).

NOTE 1Either hardened and greased shoulders or hardened rollers free to rotate shall be used.
NOTE 2The shoulders or rollers shall have a minimum width of 2 in. (50.8 mm) for the placement of the specimen.
NOTE 3The length of the specimen shall be such that the ends will not interfere with the seating of the specimen.
NOTE 4The plunger shall be fitted with an appropriate base and provisions for attachment to the testing machine; and shall be designed to minimize
deflection and misalignment.
NOTE 5The die member shall be fitted with an appropriate base designed to safeguard against deflection or misalignment and equipped with means
for keeping the shoulders or rollers over the midpoint and aligned with respect to the plunger.

NOTE 2Weld reinforcement and backing strip or backing ring, if any, shall be removed flush with the surface of the specimen. The specimen shall
be machined to a thickness, T, which must be specified in relation to t. If a recessed ring is used, this surface of the specimen may be machined to a depth
not exceeding the depth of the recess to remove the ring, except that in such cases the thickness of the finished specimen shall meet the specified
relationship to t. Do not flame-cut nonferrous material. When the original wall thickness of pipe exceeds 38 in. (9.5 mm), excess material shall be
machined from the inside surface of face-bend specimens and the outside surface of root-bend specimens.
