What is ISO 15792-1 about?
ISO 15792-1 is the first part of multi-series international standards that covers various test methods of welding consumables.
ISO 15792-1 specifies the preparation of test pieces and specimens for all-weld metal tests in steel, nickel, and nickel alloys. It should be noted that the mechanical properties of all-weld metal test specimens used to classify welding consumables can differ from those produced in production joints due to welding method variables such as electrode diameter, weave width, welding position, and material composition.
Note: ISO 15792-1 is not applicable to single- or two-run welding or fillet welding. For these cases, ISO 15792-2 and ISO 15792-3 apply.
Who is ISO 15792-1 for?
ISO 15792-1 on welding consumables is applicable to:
- Welding consumables manufacturers
- Construction, automotive, mechanical Industries
- Sheet metal manufacturers
- Manufacturers of pressure vessels
- Manufacturers of aircraft & aerospace
- Shipbuilding industry
- Welding equipment manufacturers
Why should you use ISO 15792-1?
Preparation guidelines are necessary for test pieces and specimens for all-weld metal tests in steel, nickel, and nickel alloys to assess the quality of weld produced.
ISO 15792-1 you with test procedures and acceptance criteria for welding consumables, by providing guidelines on the preparation of test pieces and specimens for all-weld metal tests in steel, nickel, and nickel alloys. This is useful in classification welding consumables which helps in designing welding procedures and increases in efficiency of welding operations.
The guidelines in ISO 15792-1 help you to manufacture high-quality welding products by applying standard methods of preparation of all-weld metal test specimens for steel, nickel, and nickel alloy welded joints.
What’s changed since the last update?
BS EN ISO 15792-1:2020 supersedes BS EN ISO 15792-1:2008+A1:2011, which is withdrawn. BS EN ISO 15792-1:2020 includes the following technical changes:
- The title and scope of this document have been changed
- Clause 10 and Clause 11 have been deleted consequently
- In Clause 1, pass has been changed to run for consistency with other standards
- Tolerances have been added to Table 1
