Fracture Testing According EN 9017
1. Scope
This instruction specifies the procedure for fracture testing of test
pieces in connection to welder qualification testing in steel, ISO 9606-
1.
Fracture tests can be applied to material thicknesses of > 2 mm.
Testing shall be done at room temperature (23 ± 5° C)
NOTE: According to ISO 9606-1, fillet welds can also be evaluated
using macro testing. This testing method is not described in this
instruction.
