Two tests intended for investigating the welding of carbon, carbon-manganese and low-alloy steels. The CTS test is used for determining the extent of susceptibility to heat affected zone (HAZ) hydrogen cracking and the BOP test is used to investigate HAZ hardening behaviour.

This British Standard describes the bead-on-plate (BOP) test for welds. These are intended for investigating the welding of carbon, carbon-manganese and low-alloy steels.

Tests are normally performed for the evaluation of parent material characteristics. Tests may also be used to investigate welding consumables and welding parameters.

NOTE The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover.
