joint gap

A joint gap is an important aspect in the manufacture of all production-related connections (e.g. welding, screwing, soldering). It describes the distance that is deliberately left between two components that are to be joined. The joint gap is important because it allows the components to be joined together without damaging them.

The size of the joint gap depends on many factors, such as the properties of the material, the stresses to which the component is exposed and the desired strength of the joint. In some cases the joint gap has to be set very precisely, while in other cases a larger joint gap is sufficient.

Choosing the right joint gap is important in order to create an optimal connection. A joint gap that is too large can lead to the connection becoming unstable and not having the desired strength. On the other hand, if the joint gap is too small, the components can be damaged when they are connected or cannot be properly connected to one another.

In summary, the joint gap is an important aspect in the manufacture of production connections. Choosing the correct size of the joint gap is critical to the strength and integrity of the joint and can mean the difference between a successful joint and a failed one.
