Fillet Weld Test

Conducting a fillet weld test can provide essential information about weld quality. Applied Technical Services provides clients with high-quality fillet weld testing services so they can get an accurate picture of their sample’s characteristics. Our weld testing experts can conduct tests according to numerous standards, such as ASME or AWS, depending on the client’s testing needs.
Fillet Weld Testing Methods
ATS uses several methods for testing fillet weld quality. Break testing, also known as fracture testing, is a mechanical weld testing process that primarily assesses root penetration in one-sided joints. Inspectors use an arbor press, hammer, or testing machine to put tension on the unwelded side of the sample until the force folds the metal flat onto itself or the weld breaks. The fracture test allows inspectors to examine the entire weld for issues such as cracks, slag inclusions, and porosity.
Macro examinations can also contribute valuable data regarding fillet weld quality. Inspectors perform macro examinations on cross-sectional samples cut from the weld coupon. Using low magnification, the inspectors can evaluate the cross-section for porosity, sidewall fusion, penetration, and weld profile quality.
