Testing of welded joints in thermoplastics semi-finished products - Part 3: Tensile creep test

EN 12814-3 specifies the dimensions, the method of sampling and the preparation of the test specimens, and the conditions for performing the tensile creep test perpendicular to the weld in order to determine the long term tensile welding factor. A tensile creep test may be used in conjunction with other tests (e.g. bend test, tensile test, macrographic examination...) to assess the performance of welded assemblies, made from thermoplastics materials. The test is applicable to welded assemblies made from thermoplastics materials filled or unfilled such as tubes and fittings, sheets, plates and profiles, but not reinforced, irrespective of the welding process used.

Prüfen von Schweißverbindungen aus thermoplastischen Kunststoffen - Teil 3: Zeitstand-Zugversuch

Diese Europäische Norm legt Maße, Probenahmeverfahren, Probenvorbereitung sowie Durch¬führungs-bedingungen für einen Zeitstand-Zugversuch rechtwinklig zur Schweißnaht fest, bei dem der Zeitstandzug-Schweißfaktor bestimmt wird.
Ein Zeitstand-Zugversuch kann zusammen mit anderen Prüfungen (z. B. Biegeversuch, Zugversuch, makrographische Untersuchung…) angewendet werden, um das Betriebsverhalten von Schweißverbindungen aus thermoplastischen Kunststoffen zu beurteilen.
Der Zeitstand-Zugversuch ist auf Schweißverbindungen aus gefüllten oder ungefüllten, jedoch nicht aus verstärkten thermoplastischen Kunststoffen unabhängig vom angewendeten Schweißverfahren anwendbar, z. B. auf Rohre, Fittings, Bahnen und Platten sowie Profile.

Essais des assemblages soudés sur produits semi-finis en thermoplastiques - Partie 3: Essai de fluage en traction

La présente Norme européenne spécifie les dimensions, la méthode d'échantillonnage et la préparation des éprouvettes, ainsi que les conditions d'exécution de l'essai de fluage en traction perpendiculairement à la soudure, afin de déterminer le coefficient de soudure en traction à long terme.
Un essai de fluage en traction peut être utilisé conjointement avec d'autres essais (par exemple : essai de pliage, essai de traction, examen macrographique, ...)  pour évaluer les performances des assemblages soudés en thermoplastiques.
Cet essai est applicable aux assemblages soudés constitués de matières thermoplastiques chargées ou non chargées, telles que tubes et raccords, feuilles, plaques et profilés, mais non renforcées, indépendamment du procédé de soudage utilisé.

Preskus zvarjenih spojev plastomernih polizdelkov - 3. del: Preskus lezenja pri natezni obremenitvi

Standard EN 12814-3 določa dimenzije, metodo vzorčenja, pripravo preskusnih vzorcev in pogoje za izvedbo preskusa lezenja pri natezni obremenitvi, pravokotno na zvar, s katerim se določi dolgoročni natezni faktor zvara. Preskus lezenja pri natezni obremenitvi se lahko uporabi skupaj z drugimi preskusi (npr. preskus upogibanja, natezni preskus, makrografski pregled ...) za oceno zmogljivosti varjenih sestavov iz termoplastičnih materialov. Preskus se uporablja za varjene sestave iz polnjenih ali nepolnjenih termoplastičnih materialov, kot so cevi in spojniki, ponjave, plošče, in profili, ki niso ojačani – ne glede na uporabljeni postopek varjenja.

SIST EN 12814-3:2014



EN 12814-3:2014 (E) 4 Introduction The design of welded thermoplastics constructions under static load is based on the long-term creep rupture with behaviour, specifically the resistance to slow crack growth of the thermoplastics material and the welds. For design purposes, the relevant characteristic values for the welded joints are the “long-term tensile welding factors” to which this European Standard provides the test method. The long-term tensile welding factors are normally used in conjunction with the creep rupture curve of the parent material, given for example in EN 1778, when designing welded semi-finished products under static load. The long-term tensile welding factor(s), the crack behaviour and the appearance of the fracture surface provide information on the quality of the weld. NOTE The behaviour of the failure obtained during the tensile creep test can be related to the notch sensitivity of the parent material. An example of a test to provide information about the notch sensitivity of parent material is given in Annex A. SIST EN 12814-3:2014



EN 12814-3:2014 (E) 5 1 Scope This European Standard specifies the dimensions, the method of sampling and the preparation of the test specimens, and the conditions for performing the tensile creep test perpendicular to the weld in order to determine the long-term tensile welding factor. A tensile creep test may be used in conjunction with other tests (e.g. bend test, tensile test, macrographic examination, …) to assess the performance of welded assemblies, made from thermoplastics materials. The test is applicable to welded assemblies made from thermoplastics materials filled or unfilled such as tubes and fittings, sheets, plates and profiles, but not reinforced, irrespective of the welding process used. 2 Normative references The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies. EN 13100-1, Non destructive testing of welded joints of thermoplastics semi-finished products — Part 1: Visual examination EN ISO 899-1, Plastics — Determination of creep behaviour — Part 1: Tensile creep (ISO 899-1) 3 Terms and definitions For the purposes of this document, the following terms and definitions apply. 3.1 test temperature temperature of the medium surrounding the test specimen during the test 3.2 test stress test load divided by the minimum cross sectional area of the test specimen 3.3 creep rupture curve regression curve through the geometric mean values of failure times 3.4 minimum failure time ttm creep rupture time of the parent material to ensure that the test method is applicable 3.5 ductile fracture large scale deformation of material from fracture surfaces 3.6 brittle fracture little or no deformation of material from fracture surfaces 4 Symbols and designations Symbols and designations are given in Table 1.

5 Principle of the test The test involves subjecting a test specimen to a constant load until fracture occurs. The time to fracture is measured and recorded. NOTE An alternative test using a whole pipe welded sample rather that a test specimen cut form the weld is given in Annex B. SIST EN 12814-3:2014



EN 12814-3:2014 (E) 7 The tests are carried out over a range of temperatures and loads, and in a test medium. Only such media shall be used which cause no swelling or degradation of the polymer. Examples of available test media are air, water or solutions of demineralised water with detergents. Care should be taken to ensure that the condition of the test medium does not influence the results of the test. The applicability of the long-term tensile welding factor for design purposes requires a minimum creep rupture time for the parent material (ttm). Before determining the long-term welding factor for the materials mentioned in Annex C, a tensile creep test should be carried out on the parent material at one of the test conditions given in Table C.1. The values of creep rupture time should be at least that quoted in Table C.1. Application standards may prescribe higher values for these rupture times depending upon the semi-finished product and material. 6 Sampling procedures Welded and unwelded test specimens shall be taken from the same test piece. NOTE In the case of socket joints, see Annex D. The test specimens (welded and unwelded) shall be cut perpendicular to the welded joint at least eight hours after welding. For sheets where the extrusion direction is different on either side of the weld, the unwelded test specimens shall be taken from the side of the test piece which has the lowest creep rupture time. Each test specimen shall be marked in order to identify its original position within the test piece. No heat treatment or mechanical straightening operations shall be carried out on the test specimen. 7 Dimensions of test specimens The dimensions of test specimens according to Figure 1 are given in Table 2 and those according to Figure 2 are given in Table 3. Profiles can be tested if test specimens are in accordance with the dimensions given in Table 2 or Table 3. For tubes having nominal outside diameter less than 20 mm, the whole tube shall be tested. In this case, the minimum distance between the clamps shall be 200 mm. SIST EN 12814-3:2014
