A test piece configured for the implementation of a method for evaluating an assembly by welding of parts made of thermoplastic materials, wherein the test piece comprises at least two parts based on thermoplastic materials having surfaces to be welded that are at least partially placed opposite one another and respective free surfaces, wherein at least one of the parts is a perforated reference part comprising at least one perforation,
- wherein the method comprises:
- providing the test piece such that the at least two parts overlap at least in part;
- providing a welding installation comprising at least one heating element and at least one temperature sensor;
- providing heat by means of the heating element;
- measuring at least one internal temperature of the test piece by means of the temperature sensor at the level of the perforation;
- wherein the heating element and the temperature sensor move in a welding direction D relative to the parts to be welded during welding.
