What is ISO 14270 - Destructive testing of welds about?
ISO 14270 specifies specimen dimensions and a testing procedure for mechanized peel testing of single spot, seam and embossed projection welds, in overlapping sheets, in any metallic material of thickness 0,5 mm to 3 mm, where the welds have a maximum diameter of 7√.
For welds of diameter between 5√t and 7√t, the peel strength values obtained may be lower than expected when using the recommended test specimen dimensions because the test specimen width is designed for welds of diameter of 5√t or less.
ISO 14270 specifies the object of mechanized peel testing is to determine the peel strength that the test specimen can sustain.
Who is ISO 14270 - Destructive testing of welds for?
ISO 14270 on destructive testing of welds is useful for:
- Mechanical industries
- Steel manufacturing plant
- Chemical industries
- Welding industries
Why should you use ISO 14270 - Destructive testing of welds?
ISO 14270 guidance provides specimen dimensions and a testing procedure for mechanized peel testing of a single spot, seam, and embossed projection welds.
ISO 14270 helps to provide testing of welds made in high strength materials including ultra-high-strength materials as well as ordinary strength materials.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN ISO 14270:2016 supersedes BS EN ISO 14270:2001 which has been withdrawn. BS EN ISO 14270:2016 has been editorially revised.
