For relationship with EU Diractive(s). ses informative annex ZA, which is an integral part of this document According 1o the CEN/CENELEC Intemal Regulations, the national standards organizations of the following countries are bound to implement this European Standard : Austria, Belgium. Czech Republic, Denmark. Finland. France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, italy. Luxembourg, Malta, Netheriands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. EN ISO 15614-8:2002 (E) 1 Scope This European Standard specifies requirements tor the qualification testing of welding procedures for the arc welding of tube to tube-plate joints in metallic materials by manual, partly mechanized, mechanized cr automatic procasses This standard is a part cf a series of standards, Details of this series are given in prEN ISO 15607, Annex A. Qualification by tube to tube-plate joint tests can be used fer all joints even if they are fully loaded or only seal welded as required n application standards In such cases, one or more special test pieces should be made to simulate the production joint in all essential features, e.g. dimensions, restraint, heat sink effects. The test should be carried out pricr to and under the conditions to be used in production. This standard applies to fusion welding of melalic materials for tube to tube-plate joints with gap. This standard does not apply fo tubs-sheets with forged end connections with welded tubes (extemal/internal bore welds), For ‘welding of tube to tuba-plate joints without gap welding procedure test should be defined in the specification, For other applications and/or requirements the standard can be used if required by the specification Repair welding should be considered in the welding procedure test. 2 Normative reterences This European Standard incorporates by deted or undated reference, provisions from other publications.
