However, this standard does not invalidate previous ‘welding procedure approvals made to former national standards or specifications providing, the intent of the technical requirements is satisfied and the previous procedure approvals are relevant to the application and production work on which they are to be employed. ‘Also, where additional tests have to be carried out to make the approval technically equivalent, itis only necessary to do the additional tests on a test piece which should be made in accordance with this standard, Consideration of previous procedure approvals to former national standards or specifications should be at the time of the enquiry or contract stage and agreed between the contracting parties. 1 Scope ‘This standard specifies how a welding procedure specification is approved by welding procedure tests. It defines the conditions for the execution of welding procedure approval tests and the limits of validity of ‘an approved welding procedure for all practical welding operations within the range of variables listed in clanse 8. ‘Tests shall be carried out in accordance with this standard unless more severe tests are specified by the relevant application standard or contract when these shall apply. This standard applies to the are welding of steels. The principles of this standard may be applied to other fusion welding processes subject to agreement. between the contracting parties. NOTE. Specific service, material or manufacturing conditions may require more comprehensive testing than is speeiied by this ‘Standard fn order to gan more information and to avoid repeating the welding procedure test ata later date just to obtain adaivonal test data.

For non-post-weld heat treated test pieces, account should be taken of the materials that are susceptible to ‘hydrogen induced cracking and consequently the NDE should be delayed. ‘Depending upon joint geometry, materials and the requirements for work, the NDE shall be carried out in accordance with EN 970 (visual examination), EN 1436 (radiographic examination), EN 1714 (ultrasonic examination), EN 571-1 (penetrant testing) and EN 1290 (magnetic testing). | 7.3.2 Acceptance levels ‘A welding procedure is approved if the imperfections in the test piece are within the specified limits of level B in EN 25817 except for imperfection types as follows: excess weld metal, excess convexity, excess throat thickness and excessive penetration, for which level C shall apply. 74 Destructive tests 7.4. Transverse tensile testing Specimens and testing for transverse tensile testing for butt joint shall be in accordance with EN 896, For pipes > 60 mm outside diameter, the excess weld metal shall be removed on both faces to give the test specimen a thickness equal to the wall thickness of the pipe. For pipes = 50 mm outside diameter, and! when fall section small diameter pipes are used, the excess weld metal may be left undressed on the inside surface of the pipe. ‘The tensile strength of the test specimen shall normally not be Jess than the corresponding specified minimum value for the parent metal When the value to be obtained is less than the minimum value specified for the parent metal, it shall be specified prior to testing and included in the pWPS. 7.4.2 Bend testing Specimens and testing for bend testing for butt joints shall be in accordance with EN 910. For dissimilar metal joints or heterogeneous butt joint in plates, one root and one face longitudinal bend test specimen may be used instead of four transverse bend tests The diameter of the former or the inner roller shall be 4t and the bending angle shall be a minimum of 120° unless the low dnetilcy of the parent metal or filler metal impose other limitations.
