Holder for testing the shear strength of a T-butt weld between two angled sections of a component, especially an aircraft component, has holders with clamps for each section with eyelets for the opposing pull forces

摘要

The holder (10) for an angle component with a T-butt weld (12) between two flat sections (18,20), to test its shear strength, has separate holders (14,16) for each. Each holder has clamps (14-1,14-2,16-1,16-2) to secure the component sections with aligned holes (24,26) to secure them in place. Eyelets (28,30) are at each holder unit for the opposing pull forces (F1,F2) to be applied to the weld.
