Tech/Engineering - Engineering: Industrial / Welding
French term or phrase: nœud de soudure
Context:

Les soudures des tuyauteries dont la pression est supérieure à 10 bar et la température est supérieure à 120°C font l’objet d’un contrôle de surface par ressuage ou magnétoscopie qui concerne 10% des soudures et tous les nœuds de soudure.

I would have thought it meant the weld beads but how can you inspect all the beads while only inspecting 10% of the welds?

agree  Bourth (X): Or "pipe node" since it is a node of pipes, not node of welds. On 2nd thoughts, better still: "weldED node" (since there might be screw fittings, etc.)
