ln addition to a tender point count, dolorimetry testing was done. A dolorimeter is a pressure algometer. It is a spring-loaded gauge attached to a rod with a soft rubber stopper at one end. The other end of the rod is attached to the spring. The patient undergoes testing by having certain anatomic areas placed in contact with the rubber stopper. The shaft of the instrument is then advanced slowly(about one kg. per second) by the examiner, and progressively greater pressure is applied until the patient complains of pain. At that point a numerical value is assigned to the area tested. 1, record 5, English, - dolorimetry

To weld tee joints in the vertical position, start the joint at the bottom and weld upward. Move the electrode in a triangular weaving motion ... When more than one pass is necessary to make a tee weld, you may use either of the weaving motions shown in figure 7-37, views C and D. A slight pause at the end of the weave will ensure fusion without undercutting the edges of the plates. 4, record 6, English, - tee%20weld
