BS EN ISO 14270:2016

What is ISO 14270 -  Destructive testing of welds about?  

ISO 14270 specifies specimen dimensions and a testing procedure for mechanized peel testing of single spot, seam and embossed projection welds, in overlapping sheets, in any metallic material of thickness 0,5 mm to 3 mm, where the welds have a maximum diameter of 7√. 

For welds of diameter between 5√t and 7√t, the peel strength values obtained may be lower than expected when using the recommended test specimen dimensions because the test specimen width is designed for welds of diameter of 5√t or less. 

ISO 14270 specifies the object of mechanized peel testing is to determine the peel strength that the test specimen can sustain. 

Who is ISO 14270 -  Destructive testing of welds for? 

ISO 14270 on  destructive testing of welds is useful for: 

• Mechanical industries 
• Steel manufacturing plant 
• Chemical industries 
• Welding industries 

Why should you use ISO 14270 -  Destructive testing of welds?  

ISO 14270 guidance provides specimen dimensions and a testing procedure for mechanized peel testing of a single spot, seam, and embossed projection welds. 

ISO 14270 helps to provide testing of welds made in high strength materials including ultra-high-strength materials as well as ordinary strength materials.
