Fracture Test
We are pleased to present our mechanical testing service, with particular emphasis on the fracture test. The fracture test is a method used for examining welded joints, allowing for the assessment of the fracture surface in terms of welding imperfections such as cracks, porosity and blowholes, inclusions, lack of fusion, and incomplete penetration. It is one of the fundamental tests performed as part of the welder qualification process.
As experienced specialists in the field of welded joint testing, we provide reliable and precise results that enable you to make informed decisions and achieve excellent outcomes. At the PALAB Laboratory, we perform fracture tests at room temperature.
Why is the Fracture Test so important?
The fracture test is one of the key methods in the analysis of material strength. It involves physically breaking the welded joint in a controlled manner to allow observation of the weld fracture surface and identification of any potential welding imperfections. The next step is to compare the identified discontinuities with the applicable requirements based on relevant standards. This test is one of the essential methods used in welder examinations and welding procedure qualifications.
