The structure of a splice made by a pneumatic splicer was investigated by studying the longitudinal view and cross sections of the splice zone. The splice has three distinct regions: twisting, wrapping, and tucking/intermingling. The strength of the splice is primarily due to the tucking/intermingling region. Wrapping preserves the splice and gives a clean appearance. Twisting provides lateral forces and reduces interfiber slippage in the tucking/intermingling zone.
