摘要： An apparatus (10) for splicing a heatable section (20) of a tubular heater (12) to a cold section, (22) with the heatable section (20) having an outer sheath (78), which has a heating element (84) therein, while the cold section (22) has an outer sheath (88) which includes a cold pin (94). The apparatus (10) comprises an enclosure (12) defining a chamber (62) which further defines opposed openings in communication with the chamber (62). A welding tip (130) extends into the chamber (62) and is capable of melting the cold pin (94) and welding the ends (80,90) of the heatable and cold sections (20,22) together in a splicing operation.
