The work of preparing Intemational Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and ‘non-governmental, in liaison with |SO, also take part in the work, ISO collaborates closely with the Intemational Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. Intemational Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISONEC Directives, Part 2 ‘The main task of technical committees is to prepare Intemational Standards. Draft Intemational Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an Intemational Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote, Attention is drawn to the possibilty that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights, ISO 15614-5 was prepared by the European Committee for Standardization (CEN) in collaboration with Technical Committee ISO/TC 44, Welding and alliod processes, Subcommittee SC 10, Unification requirements in the fick! of metal welding, in accordance with the Agreement on technical cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement) Throughout the text of this document, read ~.this European Standard..” to mean “..this International Standard..." 1S0 15614 consists of the following parts, under the general title Specification and qualification of welding procedures for metallic materials —~ Welding procedure tost: — Part 1: Arc and gas welding of steels and are welding of nickel and nickel alloys — Part 2: Arc welding of aluminium and its alloys — Part 3: Are welding of cast irons — Part 4: Finishing woiding of aluminium castings — Part 8: Are welding of titanium, zirconium end their alloys — Part 6: Arc welding of copper and copper alloys — Part 7: Corrosion rasistant overiay, cladding restore and harcifacing — Part 8: Welding of tubes to tube-plate joints — Part 9: Are underwater hyporbaric wet welding — Part 10: Underwater hyperbaric dry welding — Part 11: Electron and laser beam welding = Part 12: Spot, seam and projection welding — Part 13: Resistance butt and flash welding ‘Annex ZA provides a ist of coresponding Intemational and European Standards for which equivalents are not siven in the text For the purposes of this part of ISO 15614, the CEN annex regarding fulflment of European Council Directives has been removed (© 1S0 2004 ~ Alrights reserved i line AS for DNV GL Group Companies 2017-08-21 ISO 15614-5:2004 provided by Standard O1ISO 15614-5:2004(E) Contents Page Foreword...

Non-destructive testing ‘All non-destructive testing in accordance with 7.1 and Table 1 shall be carried out on the test pieces prior to cutting of the test specimens. Any postaweld heat treatment that is specified shall be completed prior to non-destructive testing Depending upon joint geometry, materials and the requirements for work, the NDT shall be carried out as required in Table 1 in accordance with EN 970 (visual examination), EN 1435 (radiographic testing), and EN 571-1 (penetrant testing) 7.4 Destructive testing 7.44 General ‘The extent of testing shall bo as required by Table 1. 7.4.2 Transverse tensile test ‘Specimens and testing for transverse tensile tosting for bult joint shall be in accordance with EN 898, For pipes > 50mm 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 full section small diameter pips are used, the excass wold metal may be left undressed on the inside surface of the pipe. ‘The tonsile strength of the test specimen shall not be less than the corresponding specified minimum value for the parent metal unless otherwise specified prior to testing, For dissimilar joints the tensile strength shall not be less than the minimum value specified for the parent material having the lowest tensile strength, 7.4.3 Bend test ‘Specimens and testing for bend testing for butt joints shall be in accordance with EN 910. For thicknesses <12 mm two root and two face bend test specimens shall be used. For thicknesses >12 mm four side bend specimens are recommonded instead of root and face bend tests, 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 6 t except for material group 51 when 4 shall be used. The bending angle shall be 180° for parent metal with elongation A 2 20%. For parent metal with elongation A < 20% the following formula shall apply: where d__ is the diameter of the former or inner roller , is thickness of the bend test specimen A is the minimum tensile elongation required by the material specification 15614-5:2004 provided by Standard Online AS for DNV GL Group Compa The test spacimens shail be bent uniformly and the weld, HAZ and parent metal areas shall each conform closely to the radius of the forming tool. This will indicate that any gas pick-up during welding has not reduced the ductity of the weld and that the welding has not adversely affected the formabilty ofthe parent metal (© 150 2004 Allghts reserved "ISO 15614-5:2004(E) During testing, the test specimens shall not reveal any one single flaw > 3 mm in any direction. Flaws appearing at the comers ofa test specimen during testing shall be ignored in the evaluation. 7.44 Macroimicro-examination ‘The test specimen shall be prepared and examined in accordance with EN 1321 on one side to clearly reveal the fusion line, the HAZ and the build up of the runs. ‘The macroscopic examination shall include unaffected parent material and shall be recorded by at least one macroscopic reproduction per procedure test. ‘The acceptance levels stated in 7.5 shall apply. Care should be taken when etching certain alloys in order to avoid producing crack lke indications. 7.5. Acceptance levels ‘A welding procedure is qualified ifthe imperfections in the test piace are within the specified limits of quality level B in EN ISO 5817 except for imperfection types as follows : excess wold motal, excess convexity, excess throat thickness and excessive penetration, for which quality level C shall apply. NOTE ‘The correlation between the quality levels of EN ISO $817 and the acceptance levels of the sifferent NDT techniques are given in EN 12062, 7.6 Coloration ‘Accepted colours on the weld metal surface: silver and straw. A narrow band of intensive colours close to the limits of the gas shielding is acceptable. Darker brown, purple and blue colours and grey cr flaky white are not acceptable. 1.7 Re-testing If the test piece fail to comply with any of the requirements for visual examination or NDT specified in 7.5, one further test piece shall be welded and subjected to the same examination. If this additional test piece does not comply with the requirements, the welding procedure test has falled If any test specimens fails to comply with the requirements for destructive testing in acoordance with 7.4 but only. ue to weld imperfections, two further tost specimens shall be obtained for each one that failed. The additional test specimens can be taken from the samo test piece if there is sufficient material available or from a new test piece. Each additional test specimen shall be subjected to the same tests as the initial test specimen that failed. If either Of the additional test specimens does not comply with the requirements, the welding procedure test has falled. Ifa tensile test specimen fails to meet the requirements of 7.4.2, two furthar test specimens shall be obtained for each one that failed. Both shall satisfy the requirements of 7.4.2. 8 Range of qualification 8.1 General Each of the conditions given in clause 8 shall be met in order to comply with this standard Changes outside of the ranges specified shall require a new welding procedure test, 8.2. Related to the manufacturer A quaification of a pWPS by a welding procedure test according to this standard obtained by a manufacturor is valid for welding in workshops or sites under the same technical and quality control of the manufacturer. 12 © 180 2004 ~ All ights reserved ISO 15614-5:2004 provided by Standard Online AS for DNV GL Group Companies 2017-08-21
