BE-15 Pipes and Materials: Welding of Plastic Pipes

Heating element butt welding

Documentation

Welding work has to be monitored. The type and extent of supervision has to be agreed upon between the contract partners. It is recommended to document the method information in welding protocols or on data media [DVSR2207-1].

Welding protocol

  • Melting temperature
  • Melting time
  • Jointing pressure

As the welder knows the nominal values from the regulations and standards, these values will always remain within the stipulated tolerances.

Therefore, welding protocols are often prepared as records days after the welding.
