Explore the intricacies of both manual and automatic fittings, gaining essential knowledge on preparation, timing, temperature, pressure, and cooling processes. This comprehensive training is tailored for industrial applications, suitable for use in both field and factory environments. Master the art of electrofusion welding for optimal performance and reliability.
What is Electrofusion Welding?
Electrofusion is a highly effective method for joining HDPE and other plastic pipes, utilising specially designed fittings with integrated electric heating elements to seamlessly weld joints.
One of the primary advantages of electrofusion welding is its operator-friendly nature, eliminating the need for complex or hazardous equipment. A trained Electrofusion Welder is guided through the process, with welding parameters tailored to the type and size of the fitting. The quality of electrofusion fittings varies, and precision in positioning the energising coils ensures uniform melting, resulting in a strong joint with minimised welding and cooling times.
Operators must be qualified according to local and national regulations. In Australia, an Electrofusion Course, typically completed in 8 hours, is essential. Training emphasises the accurate fusion of electrofusion fittings,
covering both manual and automatic fittings and focusing on critical factors such as preparation, timing, temperature, pressure, and cooldown.
To maintain qualification, operators can subject their fittings to testing, involving the examination of weld integrity through the careful dissection of the fitting. This thorough process ensures ongoing competency and adherence to quality standards in electrofusion welding.
