BE-15 Pipes and Materials: Welding of Plastic Pipes

Factors of influence on the welding quality

Checklist for the verification of the welding quality

  • Have the pipe ends been cut off at right angles?
  • Has the oxide layer been removed?
  • Have the welding temperature, welding pressure and welding times been calculated correctly?
  • Have environmental effects (e.g. moisture, wind, temperature, etc.) been considered in this connection?
  • Has the roundness of the pipe ends been secured (oval pipe ends have to be adjusted by adequate redeformation measures)?
  • Have the semi-finished products been certified and calibrated?
  • Have the welding temperature, welding pressure and welding times been observed?
