EN ISO 15613:2004 (E) 4 Introduction In EN ISO 15607, one of the methods of welding procedure qualification is based on pre-production welding test. Qualification based on a pre-production welding test can be used whe
21、re the shape and dimensions of the standard test pieces (e.g. those of prEN ISO 15614) do not adequately represent the joint to be welded. In such cases, one or more special test pieces can be made to simulate the production joint in all essential features, e.g. dimensions, restraint, heat sink effe
22、cts, limited access. In the case of resistance welding, actual components have to be used for the pre-production test. EN ISO 15613:2004 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard is a part of a series of standards, details of this series are given in EN ISO 15607:2003, annex A. This standard specifies ho
23、w a preliminary welding procedure specification is qualified based on pre-production welding tests. The principles of this standard may be applied to other welding processes. This standard is applicable to arc welding, gas welding, beam welding, resistance welding, stud welding and friction welding
24、of metallic materials. The use of this standard can be restricted by an application standard or specification. 2 Normative references This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications.

39、N ISO 15609-2. 5 Qualification of the welding procedure The qualification of the welding procedure shall be carried out by an examiner or examining body in accordance with the relevant part of prEN ISO 15614 as modified by this standard. 6 Welding of test pieces Preparation and welding of the test p
40、ieces shall be carried out under the general conditions of production welding which they shall represent with shapes and dimensions of the test piece simulating the actual welding conditions of the structure. This includes welding positions and other essential items, e.g. stress conditions, heating
41、effects, limited access, edge condition. When actual components are used, jigs and fixtures shall be those which will be used in production. If tack welds are to be fused into the final joint they shall be included in the test piece. 7 Testing 7.1 Fusion welding The testing of the test pieces shall
42、as far as possible be carried out in accordance with the relevant part of prEN ISO 15614. EN ISO 15613:2004 (E) 7 In general, the following tests are to be performed at least: a) visual inspection (100 %); b) surface crack detection (for non-magnetic materials, penetrant testing only); c) hardness t
43、ests (not required for parent metals of ferritic steels with R m 420 N/mm 2or R e 275 N/mm 2or for steels according to group 8 or aluminium alloys in accordance with groups 21 and 22 of CR ISO 15608:2000); d) macroscopic examination (number depends on the geometry of the structure). 7.2 Resistance w
44、elding 7.2.1 General If available, the results of other WPS could be taken into consideration if all conditions are sufficiently comparable, e.g. equipment, electrodes, material (type, surface, thickness) and weld data. 7.2.2 Overlap welding If a pre-production weld test of overlap welds relates to
45、prEN ISO 15614-12:2002, all types of tests according to Table 1 of that standard shall be carried out as far as necessary. In general, the following tests shall be performed at least: a) visual inspection; b) work shop test to determine weld size and fracture type; c) macroscopic examination to dete
46、rmine at least nugget diameter and indentation respectively minimum width of a resistance seam weld (number depends on the geometry of the structure); d) chisel tests according to ISO 10447 of pre-production test piece. 7.2.3 Butt welding If a pre-production weld test of butt welds relates to prEN I
47、SO 15614-13:2002, all types of test related to Table 1 of that standard shall be carried out as far as possible. In general, the following tests shall be performed at least: a) visual inspection (penetrant testing); b) destructive tests, especially bend tests or tests by deformation of the whole pre
48、-production test piece. 8 Range of qualification Any qualification issued under this standard is limited to the type of joint used in the pre-production test. The range of qualification is generally in accordance with the relevant parts of prEN ISO 15614 for welding procedure tests. However the rang
49、e of qualification for thickness can be applied to each component in the joint, as well as weld thickness. In the case of resistance welding, the qualification range is limited to the pre-production test piece which was tested. 9 Validity The qualified welding procedure based on pre-production welding test is valid as far as the welding production is carried out in the specified range, see clause 8.
