CD AND ARC STUDWELD TESTING (PHYSICAL)
If, after visual inspection the weld quality is still
questionable, or specifications require, the welded stud can be submitted
to additional testing. The following are suggested physical tests.
 Bend
Test: (See illustrations) By striking the stud with a hammer, or by
sliding a length of pipe or tube over the stud, the stud can be bent a
minimum of 30° away from its axis, or until failure occurs. Satisfactorily
welded studs should exhibit a complete 90° bend without failure.
Torque Test: The stud may be torqued with conventional torque testing equipment by applying torque until a predetermined torque or proof load is reached or until failure occurs. Bend
Test with Hammer.
 Tensile Test: The stud may be tested with conventional
tensile testing equipment until a predetermined load is reached or until
failure occurs.
Other: The stud and weld can be submitted to other conventional forms of destructive or nondestructive testing as specifications may required. Bend Test with Pipe.
