BE-15 Pipes and Materials: Welding of Plastic Pipes

This module focuses on the theoretical background and the practical conditions to be observed on the subject of welding of polyethylene pipes for gas, water and wastewater pipelines. A further focus is on the requirements to be considered in quality assurance and in particular the consequences of non-compliance.

After completing this module, you will have a sound knowledge of:

  • process steps of plastic welding;
  • consequences of non-professional plastic welding work;
  • necessary quality assurance measures.
