capillary soldered joint

A Splatlötverbining is the standard type of joint used to attach fittings to pipe. It is described as follows in
www.kupfer-institut.de/front_frame/pdf/i003.pdf

Spaltlöten hat die größte Bedeutung für die Praxix. Es ist ein Fügen von Werkstücken, deren miteinander zu verbindende Oberflächen eienen kleinen, üblicherweise gleich breiten Abstand (Spalt) voneinander haben. Der Lötspalt wird vorzugsweise durch kapillaren Fülldruck mit Lot gefüllt.

Although the literal translation 'gap soldering'can be found in a few Google hits, they are all translations of German or Dutch sites, and the translation sounds highly unnatural to me.

I suggest the translation 'capillary soldered joint' based on the following google hits:

The relatively low confidence level reflects the amount of verification.

capillary action soldering joint

Spaltlöten (Lötspalt bis 0,5mm) und Fugenlöten (Lötspalt größer als 0,5mm).

What is the difference between capillary joint and V-joint brazing?
If the materials to be joined are at a distance greater than 0.5mm apart or if the brazing is V- or X-shaped, we speak of a V-joint. V-joint brazing, also known as braze welding, is used for design reasons or if necessary for economic and technical processing considerations - e.g. higher preparations costs for a joint which fits exactly. The technique of V-joint brazing is similar to that of gas welding using the forward-welding technique. The gap is filled drop by drop with the brazing alloy.
Galvanized steel pipes are brazed using V-joint method in order to avoid damage to the zinc layer.
When the materials to be joined together have a surface gap between them of less 0.5mm, we speak of a capillary joint gap.
The majority of all brazed joints use the capillary joint method. The maximum size of the gap for a capillary joint lies between .005mm and 0.2mm.

Spaltlöten

Spaltlöten ist Fügen von Teilen, wobei ein konstruktiv zwischen den Teilen befindlicher enger Spalt vorzugsweise durch kapillaren Fülldruck mit Lot gefüllt wird. Werkstücke mit Lötstellenbreiten unter 0,5 mm werden im Spaltlötverfahren gelötet
Weichlöten
Weichlöten ist Löten mit Loten, deren Liquidustemperatur unterhalb 450 °C liegt. Typische bleifreie Lote sind Zinn-Kupfer- und Zinn-Silber-Legierungen.

Hartlöten – brazing

Weichlöten - soldering

agree Ken Cox : you beat me to it (but here I'd say 'soldered joint')

I was just wondering about that.
