HARMONISATION OF POLYETHYLENE PIPE BUTTFUSION PROCEDURES AND TEST METHODS
Butt fusion welding and electrofusion welding with fittings are the principle joining techniques used for polyethylene pipeline systems. Several well established procedures are used for butt fusion welding. ISO 21307 has been developed to bring together the three principle procedures, ie Dual Pressure, European Single pressure and the USA High Pressure. However it is believed that these could be further rationalised to result in two or even one reference fusion procedure. In order to achieve this goal, this project has been established to evaluate fusion welding of large diameter thick walled pipe. The key to success of this project is to evaluate test methods to ensure that the short term and long term properties of the weld are fully understood. The project is being supported by members of the PE 100+ Association, with assistance from product manufacturers, fusion equipment suppliers, test laboratories, and end users.
