Dutch term or phrase: laskant
"Een Partial Joint Penetration profiel is een deels doorgelaste buisverbinding, met in de hiel geen laskant en vooropening, maar in de andere zones van het profiel wel." Possibly 'weld preparation' or 'bevel' but need clarification here.

Explanation:
You're on the right track, katiebeb!

The contour prepared on the edge of a plate or profile for a butt-welded joint is called an edge preparation, and sometines, as you correctly surmised, a weld preparation.

In your example, the inside pipe (tube) edge remains square, while the outside is chamfered. The edge preparation would be a bevel for a full penetration joint, which is not the case here.

Contrary to your source text, a partial penetration joint has no root gap (vooropening).

fusion edge


Explanation:
See the context below; it is also translated this way in Groot Polytechnsich Woordenboek N-E.

Example sentence(s):
  • An off- center torch position is causing an asymmetric penetration. One fusion edge is melted more than another.
