This International Standard specifies the sizes of test pieces and test specimens, and the procedure for carrying out tensile tests, for determining the tensile strength and location of fractures in welded joints with transverse stressed fillet welds.

It is applicable to metallic materials with welded cruciform and lapped joints on plates, where the term plate — alone or in combination — refers to plates, sheets, extruded bars or other solid sections.

Information concerning the evaluation of test results is not included in this International Standard.
