Are the individual rings welded closed?

No, they are not, but I have had mine for a couple of years now and can report it is as good as new! I use it on more than just my cast iron also.

No, but they're sturdily constructed and I do not anticipate that they will come apart under ordinary, heavy-duty use.

I do NOT own an electron scanning microscope;my naked eye sees the ends, finger nail catches in the line ever-so-slightly. Here's you other option:go into the woods, find a running stream with white sand and BB sized peddles, soda blast it, fire with white hot coals. I'm:)

No they are not, but with over a year of use I have had no issues with this coming apart or otherwise. I have a feeling this product, like cast iron, will last for at least a lifetime.

No, they are not. They appear to be crimped very tightly together. At any rate, after months of use, there is no indication that they have opened up in any way. Welding would increase the cost exponentially I would expect.

The rings themselves are made of aluminum. the screws are steel. Both were tested with a magnet.

The ends are closed by seamless metal of the same material and finish as the rest of the bar. There are not separate caps.

Yes they are removable. They use the standard chain ring bolts as on other crank sets so you can replace the chain rings when they wear out, change them to different tooth size or lighter aluminum ones if desired.

I do not weld so I cannot reliably answer that. I thought that the description or other reviews did mention these were for more practical uses such as that though. So hopefully you can find answers there. I bought these for dust protection in the desert.

I can't answer that question for you. I didn't use the rings in that manner so I don't know. Sorry.

No just ordinary open end box end wrenches Use the rubber spacers and tighten up and check for leaksDon't over tighten the radiator ends, the radiator is plastic, check for leaks there also.

With good wire cutters. Then it's over. The loop (if that's what you mean) holding the rings is solid with no latch option.

Unfortunately not.... they are welded in place however do match my planner exactly.

The rings are stainless steel. As long as you let it air dry, there shouldn't be any problems.

I think so. I seem to recall installing it with new rings, and I'm sure I didn't buy them separately.

I can't remember if it did, but it is very simple. Pull down the coupler, remove the metal snap ring, then take apart. Put back together the same way. Worked like a champ. :)

They are riveted. I really love these pans. They live up to their manufacturer's name. I have owned T-FAL for close to 30 years. I have had these pans for a few months, and I love the quality and performance! S. LEE

They are definitely welded on, you have to screw on the ball valve and temperature gage, if you use silicon tape it works great

Yes. Very nice weld job, with excellent powder coat. Great buy for the money.

No. The tab is bent quite a bit, and the ring pretty much locks together. At one point, I had to remove the valve I was putting in, and once I cut the ring away with a Dremel, these things were so tight that the valve was deformed enough to where I had even buy a new valve (not a huge deal, but I consider them PERMANENT).

The handles are definitely welded on securely. It looks like a three spot weld. Compared to an old stainless steel set that I had, this looks much better.
