BS EN ISO 14273:2016

This standard BS EN ISO 14273:2016 Resistance welding. Destructive testing of welds. Specimen dimensions and procedure for tensile shear testing resistance spot and embossed projection welds is classified in these ICS categories:

• 25.160.40 Welded joints and welds

This International Standard specifies specimen dimensions and a testing procedure for tensile shear testing of spot and embossed projection welds, in overlapping sheets, in any metallic material of thickness 0,5 mm to 10 mm, where the welds have a maximum diameter of 7√ t (where t is the sheet thickness in mm).

The object of tensile shear testing is to determine the tensile shear force that the test specimen can sustain.
