26/30555922 DC

This standard 26/30555922 DC BS EN 12814-2 Testing of welded joints of thermoplastics semi-finished products is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.160.40 Welded joints and welds

This document specifies the dimensions, the method of sampling, the preparation of the test specimens and the conditions for performing the tensile test in order to determine the short-term tensile welding factor. A tensile test can be used in conjunction with other tests (e.g. bend, tensile creep, macro) to assess the performance of welded assemblies, made from thermoplastics materials. The test is applicable to welded semi-finished products made from thermoplastics materials filled or unfilled, but not reinforced, irrespective of the welding process used.
