Revised Standard from Last Update.

NATIONAL FOREWORD

This draft standard (Part 1) (Third Revision) which is identical to ISO 9018 : 2015 ‘Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Tensile test on cruciform and lapped joints’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on recommendation of the Welding General and its Applications Sectional Committee and approval of the Metallurgical Engineering Division Council.

This standard was first published in 1966 and subsequently revised in 1973 and 1985. First revision of this standard was undertaken in 1973 to cover various tests on fusion welded joints and weld metals in steel. Second revision of this standard was undertaken in 1985 to bring the test and test requirements in line with the other international standards published so far by revising the standard in 9 Parts. The third revision of this standard has been undertaken to align it with the latest version of ISO 9018 : 2015 under dual numbering system.
