can or package. A small measured amount (4 grams) of this coating sample is tested in
sophisticated laboratory apparatus. The method of moisture testing satisfies AWS A5.5-96
and AWS D1.1 Specifications and is sensitive only to water. It is the most accurate and
reliable method of moisture determination currently in use.

some filler metals require that guided bend tests be made to evaluate the ductility and
soundness of a welded joint. The test plate is welded in the flat position and is made long
enough to produce the necessary number of specimens. See Figure 5.

Glossary

The specimens are cut from the test plate, and the backing strip and weld

reinforcement machined flush with the face and root surfaces. If the test plate is greater

than 3/8" thick, it must be machined to 3/8" thickness, removing the metal from the root
surface for face bends, and from the face surface for root bends. In face bends, the face
of the weld is on the outside or convex surface of the specimen, and in root bends, the root
of the weld is on the outside or convex surface of the bend. The specimen is bent in a
