Destructive testing (mechanical testing)

Experts of the laboratory of destructive testing conduct tests of samples of various materials by the following methods:

• Hardness testing. LVS EN ISO 9015-1-2011. Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials — Hardness testing —Part 1: Hardness test on arc welded joints (Clause 6. Test procedure)
• Bend test. LVS EN ISO 7438: 2016. Bend test (Clause 6. Procedure) and LVS EN ISO 5173: 2010. Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials. Bend tests (Clause 6.2. Test).
• Impact test. LVS EN ISO 148-1:2017. Metallic materials - Charpy pendulum impact test - Part 1: Test method and LVS EN ISO 9016: 2013. Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials. Impact tests. Test specimen location, notch orientation and examination.
• Tensile test (longitudinal). LVS EN ISO 5178: 2011. Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Longitudinal tensile test on weld metal in fusion welded joints. 
• Tensile test (transverse). LVS EN ISO 4136:2013. Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Transverse tensile test (ISO 4136:2012).
• Tensile testing. ISO 6892-1:2016. Metallic materials - Tensile testing - Part 1: Method of test at room temperature (Clauses 7-16).
•  Fracture test. LVS EN ISO 9017:2013. Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Fracture test. Clause 8. Test procedure (ISO 9017:2001).
• Macroscopic examination of welds. LVS EN ISO 17639: 2013. Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Macroscopic and microscopic examination of welds (Clause 8. Test procedure).(ISO 17639:2003).
