English term or phrase: clamped

I'm translating a list of messages on the display of a welding machine.

Pipe scraped = Leitung defekt (translation comes from an engineer)
Pipe clamped = ?

No more context as these are only individual messages.

Leitung eingespannt

Explanation:
Wenn es sich wie vorher erwähnt um eine Schweißmaschine handelt, wird die defekte Leitung eingespannt und danach maschinell geschweißt.
So verstehe ich den Vorgang!

Beim Reibschweißen wird ein Bauteil auf einer rotierenden Spindel eingespannt und das andere Teil gegenüber an einem Reitstock befestigt. Nach Erreichen einer vorgegebenen Drehzahl erwärmen sich die Kontaktflächen durch Reibung auf Schweißtemperatur. Unter gleichzeitiger Einwirkung des Stauchdrucks läuft anschließend der Schweißprozess ab.

Wahrscheinlich handelt es sich hier auch um ein Rohr!

Leitung vorhanden

Explanation:
I guess that this refers to the fact that a tube to be welded is inserted into the mounting of the welding machine.
I found a similar expression on the following bilingual document:

Mein Ansatz geht übrigens in die gleiche Richtung wie der Vorschlag von Detlef. Ob man zu guter letzt "vorhanden" oder "eingespannt" sagt macht vom Sinn her keinen großen Unterschied. "Vorhanden" gibt bei fehlendem Kontext den Vorteil, sich auf keine Befestigungsart festlegen zu müssen...

Reference: Electrofusion Welding

Reference information:
The electrofusion technique is mainly used for welding pipes made from PE, for the water and gas utilities although PP and PVDF pipes can also be electrofusion welded.
This technique permits joining, of pre-assembled pipes and fittings, to be carried out with minimum equipment. It also offers a number of practical advantages to the installer. It is easy to use for repairs and where the available space and pipe movement is limited.
The electrofusion welding process involves the use of a fitting. This is basically an outer sleeve which the two pipe ends slide into. An internal stop at the centre of the fitting prevents the pipe ends from meeting. Fusion indicators are commonly designed into the fitting, such that when sufficient melt pressure has been generated the indicators will protrude - giving the operator a visual indication that the welding process has been carried out successfully. If the indicators fail to protrude, then the welded fitting should be cut out from the pipeline, and a new fitting should be welded in place.
It is widely acknowledged that, in order to establish a consistent and structurally sound joint, it is necessary to follow a strict preparation procedure. If the appropriate procedures are followed, contamination and disturbance effects that might inhibit the fusion mechanism will be minimised.
For successful joining of pipes, at least three important pipe preparation stages must be followed. Firstly the pipe ends must have finished squared ends. This ensures that the central cold zones function to contain the melt.
Secondly, the pipe surfaces to be joined must be properly scraped to reveal uncontaminated material. With the electrofusion joining process, there is little or no relative movement between the pipe and the coupler. Therefore, any contamination on the pipe surface is retained at the joint interface, which can significantly reduce the strength of the joint.
Finally, the pipe and fitting should be clamped during welding to eliminate relative movement. This ensures that the molten polymer is contained at the fusion interface, allowing the development of a strong joint.
The joining process during electrofusion welding can be divided into three stages: I - initial heating and fitting expansion, II - heat soaking to create the joint and finally III - joint cooling. The duration of stages I and II is commonly termed 'fusion time'.
Electrofusion fittings are typically available in sizes from 16mm to 500mm. However, sizes up to 800mm are now available.
