PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of inspecting a capacitor unit used for various electronic apparatus that can assure high precision through non-destructive test. SOLUTION: In the method, capacitors of which a pair of electrodes are taken out from a terminal board 5 and a metal case 4 are provided adjacent to each other, and the terminal board 5 of the adjacent capacitors 9 and 10 and the metal case 4 are connected with each other in series by means of a connection plate 11 by laser welding. When inspecting such a capacitor unit, a laser light not applied surface in the connection plate 11 is used as a reference plane, the cross section of a welded part between the connection plate 11 moved in parallel to the metal case 4 side from the reference plane and the metal case 4 is photographed one or more times by an X-ray CT unit. A joint area is calculated from tint of the photo of the cross section, and it is compared with a preset area to determine the quality of welding condition between the connection plate 11 and the metal case 4. Thus, the welding condition can be accurately determined for quality by non-destructive test. COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
