The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization. International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 3. Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote. Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this International Standard may be the subject of patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. International Standard ISO 11970 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 17, Steel, Subcommittee SC 11, Steel castings. Annex B forms a normative part of this International Standard. Annex A is for information only. ISO 11970:2001(E) © ISO 2001 All rights reservedv Introduction All welding procedure approvals for production welding of steel castings shall be in accordance with this International Standard from the date of its issue. Previous procedure approvals that conform to the range of approval of clause 8 are valid under this International Standard. Where additional tests have to be carried out to complete the approval it is only necessary to perform the additional tests to the requirements of clauses 6 and 7. -,-,- -,-,- INTERNATIONAL STANDARDISO 11970:2001(E) © ISO 2001 All rights reserved1 Specification and approval of welding procedures for production welding of steel castings 1Scope This International Standard specifies how a welding procedure specification (WPS) for production welding of steel castings is approved, It defines the conditions for the execution of welding procedure approval tests and the limits of validity of an approved welding procedure for all practical welding operations within the range of essential variables. Tests shall be carried out in accordance with this International Standard unless additional tests are specified by the purchaser or by agreement between the contracting parties. This International Standard applies to the arc welding of steel castings. The principles of this International Standard may be applied to other fusion welding processes subject to agreement between the contracting parties. In the case of specific service, material or manufacturing conditions, more comprehensive tests may be specified by the purchaser, than are specified by this International Standard, in order to gain more information, e.g. longitudinal weld tensile tests, bend tests, chemical analyses, ferrite determination in austenitic stainless steels, elongation, Charpy “V” impact tests, radiography, etc. 2Normative references The following normative documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this International Standard. For dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of, any of these publications do not apply. However, parties to agreements based on this International Standard are encouraged to investigate the possibility of applying the most recent editions of the normative documents indicated below. For undated references, the latest edition of the normative document referred to applies. Members of ISO and IEC maintain registers of currently valid International Standards.

The welder who undertakes the welding procedure test satisfactorily in accordance with this International Standard is approved for the appropriate range of approval according to ISO 9606-1. Additional welders shall be qualified in accordance with 7.6. 6Test piece 6.1General The test piece shall be in accordance with that shown in Figure 1. 6.2Shape and dimensions of test piece Additional test pieces, or longer test pieces than the minimum size may be prepared in order to allow for extra and/or retesting specimens (in accordance with 7.5). 6.3Welding of test piece The preparation and welding of the test piece shall be carried out in accordance with the relevant pWPS. Angular tolerances may be agreed between the contracting parties or by the relevant application standard. The dimensions and shape of the groove shall be in accordance with ISO 9692-1. If tack welds are to be fused into the final joint they shall be included in the test piece. Unless otherwise specified in the purchase order or contract review, welding and testing of the test piece(s) shall be witnessed by an examiner (or test body). When the examiner (or test body) is not specified in the purchase order the manufacturer may appoint a suitable examiner. -,-,- ISO 11970:2001(E) 4© ISO 2001 All rights reserved Dimensions in millimetres a) Plate b) Tube Key 1Discard 2Inspection length NOTEThe dimensions shown are for information only and may be adjusted to meet production and testing requirements. a c = 3t W 150 mm. b b = 6t W 350 mm. c t W 15 mm. d t1W 0,5t. e a = 5 mm to 15 mm or ? = 5° to 20°. f Edge preparation and fit-up as detailed in the preliminary Welding Procedure Specification (pWPS). g e W 150 mm. h d = outside diameter.
