METHOD
1 SCOPE
This Standard sets out a method for longitudinal guided bend testing of a welded joint.
2 APPLICATION
The test should be used in place of the transverse guided bend test (see AS 2205.3.1), where
the weld and base metal properties differ markedly in yield strength and the ductility of one
member of the joint cannot be assessed in the transverse bend test.

2205 Methods for destructive testing of welds in metal
2205.1 Method 1: General requirements for tests
2205.3.1 Method 3.1: Transverse guided bend test
4 PRINCIPLE
The face or root surface of a weld, which longitudinally bisects the test specimen, is
subjected to tension by bending with a former of specified dimensions, then examined to
assess the soundness of the weld metal and the general condition of the specimen after
bending.
