'NICK' BREAK (BEND) TEST


'NICK' BREAK (BEND) TEST

Object:  As for fillet weld fracture, used on butt welds.

Method: The specimen is cut transversely to the weld, and a saw cut is applied along the center of the weld face. The best place for the cut is at a start I stop. The specimen is fractured by bending or by hammer blows. The nick bend test will find internal defects.

Reporting Results:
  1. Thickness of material. 
  2. Width of specimen. 
  3. Location of fracture. 
  4. Appearance of joint after fracture.

CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST

CHARPY V NOTCH IMPACT TEST Object : To determine the amount of energy absorbed in fracturing a standardized test piece at a specified temperature. Method : A machined, notched specimen is broken by one blow from a pendulum. Because scatter occurs in the results, at least three specimens are used to assess the joint represented. Testing is carried out at a temperature specified in the appropriate application standard. Reporting Results: Location and orientation of the notch.  Testing temperature. Energy absorbed in joules.  Description of fracture appearance. Location of any defects. The Charpy impact test, measured in joules, is an assessment of TOUGHNESS. Transition temperature (curve) in steel.

LIQUID (DYE) PENETRATION TEST (D.P.T.)

LIQUID (DYE) PENETRATION TEST INTRODUCTION A liquid penetrant test is non-destructive type of testing to detect flaws that are open to the surface. e.g. cracks, seams, laps, lack of bond, porosity, cold shuts etc. can be effectively used not only in the inspection of ferrous metals but is especially useful for non-ferrous metal products and on non-porous, non-metallic materials such as ceramics, plastics and glass. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The principle of liquid penetrant test is that the liquids used enter small openings such as cracks or porosities by capillary action. They are influenced by factors such as the condition of the surface of material and the interior of the discontinuity. For liquid to penetrate effectively, the surface of the material must be thoroughly cleaned of all material that would obstruct the entrance of the liquid into the defect. After cleaning, the liquid penetrant is applied evenly over the surface and allowed to remain long enough to permit penetration i...

NDT ( NON DESTRUCTIVE TESTING )

NDT (NON DESTRUCTIVE   TESTING) :-  Non Destructive Testing in great variety are in world   wide used to detect variations in structure, minute changes in surface finish, the presence of cracks or other physical discontinuities, measure   the thickness   of materials   and   coatings   and   to   determine  other characteristics of industrial products. REASON'S FOR THE USE OF NDT: "NDT" is used by the manufacturers for the following reasons:  1. To ensure product reliability. 2. To make profit for the user. a)    To ensure customer satisfaction b)   To aid in better product reliability. c)    To control the manufacturing processes. d)   To lower the manufacturing costs. e)    To maintain uniform quality level. SOME OF THE MOST COMMON NDT METHODS ARE : 1.VISUAL ...
