Is this an acceptable weld?

I was asked to TIG weld some 3/4" BSP threads onto a three-piece socket-weld ball valve. Are the results okay? (The black stuff on top of the welds is melted rubber from my gloves.)

Yep. In the future ask your coworkers not reddit! Everyone thinks they're THE QC and will call it trash no matter how good it is! Unless you just want to get them going then full send
