EN 910 — Bend Testing of Welded Joints (Metallic Materials)

← Back to all standards

EN 910 is a destructive weld test standard for bend testing welded joints in metals, revealing surface-breaking defects and confirming ductility. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What EN 910 Covers

It bends a welded joint specimen so the weld region is strained, exposing cracks, lack of fusion, or porosity at the surface as part of welding procedure and welder qualification.

How the Test Is Run

A transverse or longitudinal weld specimen is bent around a former in a bend jig to a specified angle, then the tension surface is inspected for defects.

Why It Matters

Weld bend testing is a core qualification requirement; a rigid fixture and correct former size keep results valid.
