Bend Tests

Figure No. and Type: Select the figure number and the type of guided bend test from the drop-down list; select None if radiography testing was performed.

Result: Enter the result of the selected test.

Note that as with PQRs matching pairs are generally required. For example 2 QW-462.3(b) Face bends and 2 corresponding QW-462.3(b) Root bends as below. Once an initial ned is inserted the matching (root, side, etc.) will automatically be created and locked.

Volumetric test results: If radiography (x-ray) testing was performed, enter the results in this field.

Note that prior to the 2009 ASME Code these were referred to as "Radiographic test results".

Visual examination results: The accessible surfaces of the welds should be examined without magnification for this test.
