neutral  Kim Metzger: Yes, butt joint exists as a term in English, but how did you arrive at this term from "a testa"? It's not in eurodicautom.

scarf joint


Explanation:
I was unable to find a direct translation of "a testa", but as a woodworker, I'm interested in joints, of course. Testa can be face or front. The term I found most frequently in connection with rubber was scarf joint. A scarf joint is created by cutting a long diagonal taper on the end of a piece of material and matching the taper on another piece.

Las uniones de tipo 'a testa' se preparan facilmente a pie de obra con la ayuda de un pequeño aparato, el cual dispone de una cuchilla especial que al estar calentadas por medio de resistencias y al ponerlo en contacto con los extremos de las piezas que hay que unir, los funde, sin requemarlos. Luego se retira la cuchilla y se presiona ligeramente las piezas entre sí, obteniéndose una soldadura perfecta.

This Measurement Note considers the influence of specimen
geometry and elastic properties of the adherend on the strength of
single-lap and scarf joints bonded with rubber-toughened adhesives.

The Measurement Note presents the results of study
designed to establish the effects of changes in adhesive layer
thickness, adherend properties (i.e. thickness and elastic
properties), bond length and taper angle (scarf joint only) on joint
strength.

A butt joint is the weakest possible joint.
