EN 895 is the destructive weld test method for the transverse tensile testing of welded butt joints in metallic materials. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What EN 895 Covers
It pulls a specimen that crosses the weld to evaluate tensile strength and to observe where fracture occurs, a core check in welding procedure and welder qualification.
How the Test Is Run
A transverse specimen containing the weld is gripped and pulled to failure, and the tensile strength and fracture location, whether in the weld, fusion line, or parent metal, are recorded.
Why It Matters
Transverse tensile results confirm a weld meets joint strength requirements; high-force grips and specimens that span the weld are essential.
