One of the greatest advantages of HDPE and MDPE pipes is the excellent
weldability. The following are the techniques used for welding of
HDPE and MDPE pipes.
| Heating
element butt fusion welding |
Two pipe ends are brought in contact with a heating element.
Thereafter, the heating element is removed and the two molten
pipe are pressed together to provide a leakproof joint. |
 |
Two pipe ends are fitted into the electrosocket. Heating coil
integrated into the electrosocket heats the material surrounding
the coils which melts, and becomes integral with the pipes inserted
into the ends of the socket. On cooling a leakproof joint is
formed. |

Suitable for the integartion of accouterments into the piping
system or for the transition to the other pipe materials. |
