Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). 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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).

ISO 15614-8:2016(E)
Introduction
All new welding procedure tests are to be carried out in accordance with this part of ISO 15614 from
the date of its issue. However, this part of ISO 15614 does not invalidate previous welding procedure
tests made to former national standards or specifications or previous issues of this part of ISO 15614.
INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 15614-8:2016(E)
Specification and qualification of welding procedures for
metallic materials — Welding procedure test —
Part 8:
Welding of tubes to tube-plate joints
1 Scope
This part of ISO 15614 specifies requirements for the qualification testing of welding procedures for
the arc welding of tube to tube-plate joints in metallic materials by manual, partly mechanized, fully
mechanized, or automatic processes.
This part of ISO 15614 is a part of a series of standards. Details of this series are given in ISO 15607,
Annex A.
Qualification by tube to tube-plate joint tests can be used for all joints even if they are fully loaded or
only seal welded as required in application standards.
This part of ISO 15614 applies to fusion welding of metallic materials for tube to tube-plate joints
with a remaining gap between the tube and the tube-plate for some length of the tube-plate thickness.
This part of ISO 15614 does not apply to tube-sheets with forged end connections with welded tubes
(external/internal bore welds).
For welding of tube to tube-plate joints with mechanical expansion which is load bearing, welding
procedure test is to be defined.
For other applications and/or requirements, this part of ISO 15614 can be used if required by the
specification.
Repair welding is to be considered in the welding procedure test.
