Poly Pipe Heat Fusion
Poly Pipe Heat Fusion Operations
The pipe fusion process joins two pieces of thermoplastic pipe together using heat and pressure. While commonly associated with high-density polyethylene pipe (HDPE), the machines are capable of fusing or welding a variety of different types and sizes of pipe. These processes are commonly used in the gas industry, but training can be used for employees in municipalities, water distribution systems, plumbing systems, and various other industries.
With an increasing number of contractors and operating companies requiring Poly Pipe Heat Fusion credentials to gain access to job-sites, trainees in this trade will have no problem finding well-paid employment.
Poly Pipe Heat Fusion classes are scheduled throughout the year through our open enrollment process by using our open enrollment process HERE or can be customized for your company by calling Steven Vines - PRO Industrial Coordinator at (572) 215-2184.
Poly Pipe Heat Fusion Joining Processes:
Butt Fusion Welding is the process of joining two pipe-ends by heating and pressing the two ends together creating a monolithic entity.
Electro-Fusion Welding is another HDPE jointing method, where two pipe-ends are fitted and melted into an electro-socket.
Saddle Fusion Welding is used to join service saddles, tapping tees, and branch saddles to a Polyethylene pipe main.
Socket Fusion Welding is a widely used technique for assembling plastics piping systems using injection molded fittings.
