Flashcards
Visual Inspection
Visual Inspection
A visual inspection examines a weld's surface for any visible flaws like cracks, gaps, or surface defects.
Destructive Testing
Destructive Testing
Destructive tests physically break a portion of the weld to assess its strength and structural integrity.
Tensile Test
Tensile Test
Tensile tests measure the force required to pull a piece of the weld apart until it fractures.

Study Notes
Welding Tests: Overview
- Welding tests are crucial for ensuring weld quality and safety.
- Tests identify potential problems before they compromise the weld.
Types of Welding Tests
- Visual Inspection: A basic visual check for surface defects like cracks, gaps, or other imperfections.
- Destructive Tests: Tests that involve damaging the weld to assess its strength. Examples include tensile, bend, and impact tests.
- Non-Destructive Tests (NDTs): Tests that examine the weld without causing damage.
- Radiographic Testing (RT): Uses X-rays to detect internal flaws hidden inside the weld.
- Ultrasonic Testing (UT): Employs sound waves to identify internal flaws, similar to RT.
- Magnetic Particle Testing (MT): Finds surface cracks in magnetic materials. Detects flaws on the surface.
Importance of Welding Tests
- Welding tests prevent weld failures under stress.
- Ensuring weld integrity minimizes safety hazards for users and the surrounding area.
