Abstract
Devices and methods are provided for testing weld strengths of a test coupon joint. A test coupon is positionally fixed to a base of the testing device. A punch assembly having a head portion is provided so as to exert an axial force against an upright part of the test coupon to thereby determine weld strength between the planar and upright parts of the test coupon (e.g., a maximum force at which weld failure occurs).
