This International Standard specifies the sizes of test specimens and the test procedure for carrying out longitudinal
tensile tests on cylindrical test specimens in order to determine the mechanical properties of weld metal in a fusion
welded joint.
This International Standard applies to metallic materials in all forms of product with joints made by any fusion
welding process, having joint sizes that are sufficient to obtain cylindrical test specimens with dimensions in
accordance with ISO 6892.
Unless specified otherwise for specific points in this International Standard, the general principles of ISO 6892
apply.
