  • Method and apparatus for weld testing
    Patent number: 5587537
    Abstract: The quality of a weld is tested in an elongated object, such as a strand or cable, by pressing the ends to be welded against one another and maintaining them in such pressed condition while welding the same. Thereafter, a predetermined tension is applied to the weld and the elongation produced thereby is measured and compared to a preset value. If the elongation exceeds the preset value, the weld is considered unsatisfactory.
