Assembly - Methods - EAre there any standards or codes of practice applicable to the assembly methods?
The major users of PE piping systems have developed codes of practice for fusion assembly. Many of these have become national standards. Butt fusion The differences between the procedures are in the level of pressure to be applied and the time for which it is applied. All the procedures require a fusion temperature of 210°C to be applied. For the pressure/time regimes for the main procedures click the Fusion Cycles image. The various national codes of practice on butt fusion are the following:
Electrofusion
There is less variation in electrofusion procedures. The barcodes on the fittings cause the electrofusion controller unit to be programmed with the necessary time and temperature cycle for that fitting. |
