Abstract

A fusion bead testing device is provided for testing the strength of a fusion bead removed from a pipe joint. The testing device comprises a first pressing means for exerting a force against the fusion bead. If the fusion bead splits as a result of the applied force then the fusion bead fails a quality control test and the fusion bead and consequently the pipe joint from which the bead was removed are deemed too weak. The fusion bead testing apparatus comprises an automatic split detection device for detecting a split in the bead.

Abstract

A fusion bead testing device (13) is provided for testing the strength of a fusion bead (11) removed from a pipe joint (6). The testing device (13) comprises a first pressing means (19) for exerting a force against the fusion bead (11). If the fusion bead (11) splits as a result of the applied force then the fusion bead (11) fails a quality control test and the fusion bead (11) and consequently the pipe joint (6) from which the bead (11) was removed are deemed too weak. The fusion bead-testing apparatus (13) comprises an automatic split detection device (27, 127) for detecting a split in the bead (11).
