IS 3600 : Part 2 : 2025/ISO 9016 : 2022 Welded Joints and Weld Metal - Method of Test - Part 2 Destructive Tests on Welds in Metallic Materials - Impact Tests - Test Specimen Location, Notch Orientation and Examination
NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 2) (Fourth Revision) which is identical to ISO 9016 : 2022 'Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Impact tests - Test specimen location, notch orientation and examination' issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the 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, 1985 and 2022. The first revision of this standard was brought out in 1973 to cover various tests on fusion welded joints and weld metals in steel. The second revision of this standard was brought out 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 was brought out to align it with the ISO 9016 : 2012. This revision has been brought out to align it with ISO 9016 : 2022 under dual numbering system to harmonize it with the latest developments that have taken place at international level.
The main changes as compared to the previous version are as follows:
a) A column has been deleted from Table A.1.
This standard is published in various parts. Other parts in this series are:
Part 1 Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Tensile test on cruciform and lapped joints
Part 3 Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Transverse tensile test
Part 4 Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Longitudinal tensile test on weld metal in fusion welded joints
Part 5 Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Bend tests
Part 8 Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Fracture test
Part 9 Destructive tests on welds in metallic materials - Macroscopic and microscopic examination of welds
The text of ISO standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminologies and conventions are, however, not identical with those used in Indian Standard. Attention is especially drawn to the following:
a) Wherever the words 'International Standard' appear referring to this standard, it should be read as 'Indian Standard'; and
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker, while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
