Notch In HAZ
• In 2013 Edition UG-84 was revised to specify location of HAZ impact test
specimens.
• However, Code did not specify Weld and HAZ specimens requirements
when multiple welding processes are used for WPS Qualification.
• 2017 Edition specifies now requirements for Weld and HAZ impact test
specimens for multiple processes.
• This presentation will detail the specified requirements.
• This is not an official interpretation of the Code.
• When procedure tests are made on material over 1 ½ inch (38mm) in thickness ,
the following heat-affected zone and weld metal three sets of impact
specimens are required.
• (-a) Heat affected zone specimens shall be as described in g(2) above.
• (-b) Two sets of impact specimens shall be removed from the weld with one set
located near {within 1/16 inch(1.5mm)} the surface of one side of the material
and one set taken as near as practical midway between the surface and center
of thickness of the opposite side and oriented as described in (g) (1) above.
• (f) talks about subjecting Test plates to same heat treatment in actual
manufacture.
• Any Questions?
