Abstract
A joint portion evaluating method for measuring and evaluating a joint state of a joint portion at which a first joint body and a second joint body are joined together, the joint portion evaluating method including the steps of: acquiring as a reference value a capacitance value of the joint portion in a reference measurement state serving as a reference for measurement conditions; changing a measurement state from the reference measurement state and acquiring as a measured value a capacitance value of the joint portion in a changed measurement state arising after the change of the measurement state; deriving as a measurement evaluation value a value obtained by referencing the measured value with the reference value; and performing an evaluation based on the derived measurement evaluation value.
