This is an ASME IX side bend from a test I supervised the other day. Fixing to bend it. A couple of thought questions for other folks involved in welder testing. Not pressing anyone to post answers as much as reflect on "do I know this?" As a note, at least 2 of these are things I have made a mistake on in my early years.

1) For Specimen preparation, what is a major difference between ASME IX and AWS D1.1 for side bends?

2) Which code has a more stringent acceptance criteria for bends?

3) AWS D1.1 and AWS D1.5 are very similar for bend tests but what's a difference related to side bends.

This may be of interest to some that may not fully understand welder testing.

The welder said they were Certified. – Welding Inspection Services-Welder Testing and Certification 14 January, 2025 gerald 0 Comments 1 category ContextI recently read a post in which the poster indicated the welders “told him” they were “certified” and they did not have documentation to support that claim. The context was B31.3 work I think. There were many very good responses I’m sure...

May be some useful information for someone.
