Physical weld testing is done to confirm the mechanical strength of welds. Physical weld testing is, in some cases, a relatively easy and inexpensive way to test welds, and can find flaws in welds that might escape detection using other, perhaps more sophisticated, testing methods.

Proper testing lies not in the specification but in the application. Too much testing can be costly and unnecessary. Too little testing, or testing only to the standard, can leave you with parts that don’t perform in the application. The right testing follows the requirements of the application.

AMS 2680 is a very stringent aerospace welding standard that is applied in critical applications.
