Heat Fusion
Welding Explained:
HDPE pipe fusion
or Heat Fusion Welding involves
the heating of two HDPE
pipe surfaces to a temperature
sufficient enough to change the
resin’s molecular structure to
an amorphous (or pliable) state.
The HDPE pipe is Butt fused
together using a "fusion
welder". The pipe pieces are
held together via a clamping and
the pipe ends are "faced" with a
machining tool to establish
clean, parallel mating surfaces,
perpendicular to the centerline
of each pipe.
When fusion pressure is applied
at the designated temperature
and prescribed force, the
molecules from each pipe surface
end mix. As the joint cools, the
molecules return to their
crystalline state creating one
homogeneous pipe. The result is
a leak-free fusion joint that is
as strong or stronger than the
pipe itself.
