HDPE Pipes:
Water is of vital importance, plants, animals and humans are composed of 50 – 80 % water, from polluted water or water scarcity
however, they suffer, fall ill or even die. Therefore, our common future is endangered when water is not available in sufficient
amount and quality.
To improve this situation and find solutions, a lot of governmental bodies, engineering and construction companies as well as pipe
manufacturers have focused in this world threatening issue. However, for years’ tremendous difficulties were observed when-
selecting the material of construction for infrastructure systems, which should be suitable to provide anticipated permanent
solutions.
Over the last decades the inherent weaknesses of concrete, clay, ductile, PVC and steel caused tremendous problems in existing
sewer pipe systems, as they tend to be brittle or are too sensitive to aggressive chemicals and soil conditions. Failures had become
a common occurrence worldwide in sewer and other large-diameter pipe applications. In addition, they have an unprofitable
relation between cost & benefit
DRPS derived benefit from the fact that the processing of HDPE is very easy and the plastic materials provide superior properties
against adverse effects of the ambient and the chemicals. In addition to the permanent solution that lasts through generations,
DRPS piping system is able to provide everlasting and economic solutions in wide-ranging fields of applications as for example
drain, storm drain and sewer system as well as sea outfall, manholes and reservoirs dewatering.
In order to meet the requirements of the infrastructure systems, DRPS has developed the most robust and advantageous
large-bore-pipe systems of which all features are described in detail in this brochure.

Butt Fusion Welding Service
DRPS provides complete solution for welding of HDPE Pipes & Fittings using Butt-Fusion Welding technology. Butt Fusion is the
most important and widely used method of connection for HDPE Pipes & Fittings. It is a method of jointing pipe ends by way of
heating and cooling under pressure, resulting in pipe joints as strong as the pipe itself.
Butt-fusion jointing is a thermos fusion process which involves the simultaneous heating of the ends of two components which
are to be joined until a melt state is attained on each contact surface. The two surfaces are then brought together under
controlled pressure for a specific cooling time and homogeneous fusion is formed upon cooling. The resultant joint is resistant to
end thrust and has comparable performance under pressure to the pipe.

Butt Fusion Welding Machine
Butt welding employing fusion. Clean, leak- proof and permanent joints can be made by following the steps below:
Cleanly cut the pipes as required

Remove fibrous material and chamfer inner edges using a rough file
Heat welding mirror to 210-degree C, bring the cut surfaces to be joined into contact with mirror. The material will melt
Allow weld rims to form
HDPE Perforated Pipes

HDPE Perforated Pipe plays an integral role in many application and is generally used for gravity flow water management
application including storm water drainage, subsurface drainage, detention/retention systems, golf courses, athletic fields,
retaining and foundation walls and agricultural drainage projects.
HDPE pipes are produced with slots or perforations to collect and convey subsurface water to a more favourable location for
discharge and is an ideal material for underground drainage construction. HDPE pipe has enjoyed a long history of success in
roadway applications. HDPE is light weight when compared to other pipe materials, so its more economical to transport and install.
HDPE perforated pipe is very resistant to abrasion and chemical attack which can affect other materials. It is structurally strong
and proven to support large earth loads. HDPE is an environmentally sustainable material.
Raw Material
Polyethylene (PE100) thermoplastics with excellent properties for the application of water supply drainage & sewage surface
water, storm water, ducting. The environmental friendly polyethylene is resistant to many chemicals.

INSTALLATION METHOD OF BUTT FUSION WELDING OF HDPE
PIPES & FITTINGS
WORK METHODOLOGY
1. Handling and Storage of PE pipes
Delivery
Although HDPE is an extremely tough material, the surface of the material may easily be scored
or gouged by careless handling. Particular attention shall be paid to stacking on vehicles and
excessive loads being imposed on pipes and fittings.Only non mettalic ropes or wide bank
webbing will be used to secure loads.
Handling and Storage of Polyethylene (PE) Pipes
PE pipes should be protected from direct sunlight if they are to be stored / stacked at site. This will
reduce exposure to UV light which over time can cause aging of the pipe surface. Any pipes
stored/stacked at site shall be covered by tarpaulin.
All pipes stacks will be made on sufficiently firm flat ground. Where individual pipe lengths are
stacked in pyramid fashion, such stacks shall not be greater than 1m high.
Under no circumstances will metal chains or slings be brought into direct contact with the material.
When lifting bundled pipes by crane, non-metallic wide band slings or ropes will be used, and for
pipe lengths greater than 6m,load spreading beams will be used.
2. Piping Installation
Prior to installation, the trench preparation shall be checked for the required elevation, slope and
freedom from rock, stones and other deleterious materials. Sand bedding to the required
thickness shall be checked and confirmed. Installation shall not be started until unsatisfactory
conditions have been corrected.
The polyethylene pipes, fittings, etc. shall be inspected for the sizes required as per drawing and
also for distortion, bending, damages, etc.
Page:63
Note: Electrofusion and butt fusion fittings should remain in original packaging until final
installation.
Each section of pipe and each fitting shall be thoroughly cleaned before it is installed.
The pipes shall be laid in the trench straight and with spacing required as per
specification/drawing.
Whenever pipe laying is discontinued for short periods, or when work is stopped at the end of the
day, the open ends of all mains shall be closed with water-tight plugs.
When lifting pipe with slings, only wide fabric choker slings capable of safely carrying the load to lift,
move, or lower pipe and fittings shall be used. Wire rope and chain shall not be used.
Page:64
HEAT FUSION
The principle of heat fusion is to heat two surfaces to a designated temperature, and then fuse
them together by application of a sufficient force. This force causes the melted materials to flow
and mix, thereby resulting in fusion. When fused according to the pipe and/or fitting
manufacturers' procedures, the joint area becomes as strong as or stronger than the pipe itself
in both tensile and pressure properties. As soon as the joint cools to near ambient temperature,
it is ready for handling. The following sections of this chapter provide a general procedural
guideline for each of these heat fusion methods.
One method, used for all three types of joints, uses special heating tools for heating the parts to
be joined. The other method, 'electro fusion', is used only for socket joints. Heat is generated by
inducing electric current into a wire coil that is a part of the fitting.
BUTT FUSION
The most widely used method for joining
individual lengths of large diameter
polyethylene pipe is by heat fusion of the
pipe butt ends as illustrated in Figure 1. This
technique, which precludes the need for
specially modified pipe ends or couplings,
produces a permanent, economical and
flow-efficient connection. Field-site butt
fusions may be made readily by trained
operators using specially developed butt
fusion machines (see Figure 2) that secure
and precisely align the pipe ends for the
fusion process.
Page:65
BUTT FUSION WELDING
Butt Fusion is the most common technique for producing fusion welds in HDPE piping.
Pre-Joint Checks
1. Correct jointing parameters for the machine & piping being welded shall be checked.
2. The generator shall be checked for sufficient fuel to complete the operation. Ensure that
the generator is positioned away from the welding area to avoid fumes.
3. The welding equipment shall be checked for :
· The clamps must be effective in holding pipe square.
· The trimmer blades must be clean and sharp and the trimmer must be well with
power in reverse to ensure a clean cut.
· The heater plate must have a control system capable of maintaining a uniform
temperature over the area in contact with the pipe.
· The hydraulic system must be effective and a gauge must be attached which can
accurately resolve pressure to be used.
4. Pipe shall be supported on pipe rollers or PE skids.
5. Equipment shall be cleaned to ensure that oil and grease do not contact pipe surfaces.
6. To control dust contamination, weldingshall be carried out in simple protective shelter.
The floor should be covered by tarpaulin (or similar material). Welding works shall not be
carried out on windy days.
7. To ensure that heater plate is fully clean it shall be washed when cold with a mild
detergent and then rinsed with cold water.
Page:66
The procedure for Butt Welding as follows.
The six steps involved in making a butt fusion joint are:
1. Securely fasten the components to be joined

2. Face the pipe ends
3. Align the pipe profile
4. Melt the pipe interfaces
5. Join the two profiles together
6. Hold under pressure
Secure
Each component that is to be fused will be held in position so that it will not move unless it will
be moved by the hydraulic clamping device.
Face
The pipe ends will be faced to establish clean, parallel mating surfaces. Facing is continued
until a minimal distance exists between the fixed and movable jaws of the machine and the
facer is locked firmly and squarely between the jaws. This operation provides for a perfectly
square face, perpendicular to the pipe centerline on each pipe end and with no detectable
gap.
Align
The pipe profiles will be rounded and aligned with each other to minimize mismatch (high-
low) of the pipe walls. This will be accomplished by adjusting the clamping jaws until the
outside diameters of the pipe ends match. The jaws will not be loosened or the pipe may slip
during fusion.
Melt
Heat the ends of the pipe to the pipe manufacturer's recommended temperature, interface
pressure, and time duration. By doing so, the heat will penetrate into the pipe ends and a
molten “bead” of material will form at the pipe ends. Heating tools, which simultaneously heat
both pipe ends, will be used to accomplish this operation.
Heating tools are equipped with suspension and alignment guides, which center them on the
pipe ends. The heater faces which come into contact with the pipe is coated by the
manufacturer to prevent molten plastic from sticking to the heater faces.
Page:67
Join
After the pipe ends have been heated for the proper time and to the proper temperature, the
heater tool will be removed and the molten pipe ends will be brought together with sufficient
pressure to properly mix the pipe materials and form a homogeneous joint.
The pipe manufacturer's instructions will be followed for interface pressure and bead size of
molten material as a guide for a proper joint.
Fusion machines will incorporate any of the following for proper application of pressure:
1. Manual with hydraulic hand pump.
2. Semi-automatic with motorized hydraulics including pressure reducing, selector, and
directional control valves.
3. Fully automatic with computer- or microprocessor-control of the heat and fusion cycles and
pressures.
Hold
The molten joint will be held immobile under pressure until cooled adequately to develop
strength. The proper cooling times for the joint are material-, pipe-diameter-, and wall-thickness
dependent and will be followed as established by the pipe manufacturer. Allowing proper times
under pressure for cooling prior to removal from the clamps of the machine is important in
achieving joint integrity.
INSTALLATION METHOD OF ELECTRO FUSION WELDING OF

This technique of heat fusion joining is somewhat different from the conventional fusion joining
thus far described. The main difference between conventional heat fusion and electro fusion is
the method by which the heat is applied. In conventional heat fusion joining, a heating tool is
used to heat the pipe and fitting surfaces. The electro fusion joint is heated internally, either by a
wire coil at the interface of the joint or, as in one design, by a conductive polymer. Heat is created
as an electric current is applied to the conductive material in the fitting. Figure 3 illustrates a
typical electro fusion joint and Figure 4 illustrates an electro fusion control box and fitting.
Page:68
CLEANLINESS
Under no circumstances will electro fusion be carried out in conditions that are unsuitable for
successful jointing. Trench side and trench conditions must be clean and dry and kept clear of
ground water and mud. When necessary an enclosed habitat will be utilized to alleviate
conditions of blowing sand.
ELECTRO FUSION WELDING
General steps to be followed when performing electro fusion joining are:

1. Prepare the pipe

INSTALLATION METHOD OF ELECTRO FUSION WELDING OF HOT
AIR WELDING
This is a plastic welding technique which is analogus to gas welding of metals, though the specific
techniques are different. A specially designed heat gun (hot air welder) produces a jet of hot air
that softens the parts to be joined, as well as the plastic filler rod.
Hot air/gas welding is a common fabrication technique for manufacturing smaller items including
and not limited to chemical tanks, water tanks (black, grey, fresh & ballast), heat exchangers, and
plumbing fittings. The materials being welded and the welding rod must be of the same or very
similar plastic. Welding PVC to acrylic is an exception to this rule.
The filler rod used for welding is the extruded rod that is used to weld plastic. Plastic welding rod
can be ABS, PVC, Polypropylene, polyethylene, and many other types of thermoplastic. Plastic
welding rod is available in a wide range of Colors to match your project requirements.

HYDROSTATIC TESTING
Pressure Testing Outside the Trench:
If specified by the engineer, pressure testing may be conducted prior to pipe installation.
After the pipe has been joined, fill it with water, carefully bleed off any traped air. Subject the
pipe to a hydrostatic test pressure that is 1.5 times the system design pressure for a maximum
of 3 hours. During this time, add water periodically to maintain the test pressure; this
compensates for the initial stretching of the pipe. The line pressure tightness is determined by
visual observation. Therefore it is not necessary to measure the make-up of water. Examine
every fused joint, any leakage must be repaired and then retested.
Testing In The Trench:
Fill the pipeline with water after it has been laid; bleed off any trapped air. Subject the lowest
element in the system to a test pressure that is 1.5 times the design pressure and check for
any leakage. When in the opinion of the engineer, local conditions require that the trenches be
backfilled immediately after the pipe has been laid, apply the pressure test after backfilling
has been completed but not sooner than a time which will allow sufficient curing of any
concrete that may have been used. Typical minimum concrete curing times are 36hours for
early strengths and 7 days for normal strengths.
The test procedures consist of two steps: the initial expansion and the test phase. When test
pressure is applied to a water filled pipe, the pipe expands. During the initial expansion of the
pipe under test, sufficient make-up water be added to the system at hourly intervals for 3
hours to maintain the test pressure. After about 4 hours, initial expansion should be complete
and the actusl test can start.
When the test is to begin, the pipe is full of water and is subjected to a constant test pressure of
1.5 times the systemdesign pressure. The test phase should not exceed 3 hours, after which
time any water deficiency must be replaced and measyred. Add and measure the amount of
make-up water required to return to the test pressure and compare this to the maximum
allowance.

Risk / Impact Assessment and SHE Method Statements
Objectives:-
· To identify hazards and assess, eliminate or minimize and control Risks and
Environmental Impacts, both with regards to project site activities, office and work
premises, including routine and non routine activities.
· To document 'Safe Systems of Work' and prevent adverse environmental impacts
through the generation of SHE Method Statements.
· To ensure that information with regard to hazards and environmental aspects and
associated risks / impacts are communicated to employees and other affected
parties.
· Ensure that the requirements of local health and safety and environmental
regulations are met by adopting international best practice in the management of
health and safety risk and the environment.
Definitions:-
· Hazard – Source or situation with a potential for harm in terms of injury or health,
damage to property, damage to the workplace environment, or a combination of
these.
· Risk – Combination of the likelihood and consequence(s) of a specified hazardous
event occurring.
· Risk Assessment – Overall process of estimating the magnitude of risk and
deciding whether or not the risk is tolerable.
· Tolerable Risk – Risk that has been reduced to a level that can be endured by the
organization having regard to its legal obligations and its own health and safety
policy.
· Environmental Aspect – Activities, products or services that can interact with the
environment.
· Environmental Impact – Changes to the environment, whether adverse or
beneficial, wholly or partially, resulting from organizations environmental aspects.
· Method Statement – A detail step by step description of an installation or work
activity.
· SHE(Q) –Safety, Health and Environment (Quality)
Page:75
Risk & Impact Assessment - Guidance
Risk Assessment Matrix
Page:76
Risk and Impact Assessment – Guidance Notes:-
· Assess the risks by evaluating each hazard in turn.
· To assess the risk, the likelihood of the hazard or hazardous event occurring must
be determined.
· Guidance on risk and likelihood is provided with the risk assessment matrix above.
· A score of 1 to 3 must be selected from the risk assessment matrix, with 1
Meaning that the event is unlikely to occur and 3 meaning that the event is
Highly likely to occur.
· Following this, the consequence of the event occurring must be determined.
· This is the severity of the injury or damage that will be caused if the event takes
place.
· A low consequence of 1 on the risk assessment matrix means that no injury would
be sustained if the event happened. A high consequence of 3 for example, means
that a fatality is likely if the event occurs.
· The next step requires the selected likelihood to be multiplied by the selected
consequence to arrive at a Risk Rating. For example a likelihood of 2 multiplied by
a consequence of 3 will produce a Risk Rating of 6 (2 x 3 = 6). aRisk rating of 6 or
more is regarded as a high risk priority.
· In such cases effective risk control measures must be developed to control the risk.
Lower priority risk will not be ignored, however, control measures should be
appropriate to the Risk Rating and based on the principal of 'Reasonably
Practicable', a balance of risk and cost.
· Once control measures are applied the risk rating is again calculated. This
'Residual Risk' rating should show a reduction in the level of risk due to the control
measures. Ideally the residual risk will be low. Note that a task should not proceed
unless the residual risk has been reduced to 3.
· Note that the consequence will never change. What can be changed is the
Likelihood. This must be managed and must be 1, giving a maximum residual risk
of 3.
· The process is be used to also include environmental aspects. The matrix can be
used to manage environmental impacts and this is provided for on the assessment
sheet.
Action Plan: where a score rating is 6 or above further actions / preventative measures will be
required to ensure that the hazard and risks are irradiated or bought down to as low as
reasonably practicable. Responsibilities and actions noted must be completed prior, to works
/ activity commencing.

Working Safely in Excavations
Definition: - Excavations and trenches greater than 1.2m deep can cause serious
accidents form the collapse of their sides, resulting in the burial or crushing of workers
inside the excavation.
Key excavation terms include:-

· Shoring gives temporary support to the wall of a trench by placing sheeting along its
walls, with sufficient props both vertically and horizontally to support the length of the
excavation exposed.
· Battering-back requires the sides of the trench to be sloped back to a 35 – 45
degree angle to make the sides stable and to prevent collapse.
· Trench Boxes are proprietary support systems, which can be put in place without
requiring people to enter the excavation. Once in place, these allow safe access and
work from inside the trench box.
· Chocks/Stop Blocks are blocks/ structures that prevent a vehicle from approaching
too close to the side of an excavation, which could cause the sides of the excavation
to collapse or the vehicle to roll into the excavation.
Hazards Risks:-
· Unprotected edges Fractures / Crush injuries/
· Collapse of sides entrapment / death
· Machinery/materials falling over edges Electrocution/
· Contact with underground services Gas Inhalation, leading to consciousness /
death
Controls – Managing the risks:-
· Before any work commences in an excavation the excavation checklist will be a
prerequisite (it must be completed before work starts).
· Before any work takes place ensure that the site is inspected and surveyed to
ascertain the condition of structures, ground and services including overhead/
underground lines and gas pipes and tat digging operations will not cause other
structures to become unstable or collapse.
· Ensure that all excavations are inspected / controlled by a competent person i.e a
civil engineer, foreman, supervisor etc. Excavation must be inspected daily before
work commences. Please note – Excavation s must also be inspected after
inclement weather conditions e.g. High wind, Rain etc.
Page:79
· Provide at least one safe access / egress point to the excavation. 2 access / egress
points are better than 1. A 2nd access / egress point will act as an emergency exit.
· Ensure that trench controls are in place, shoring, battering back, trench boxes,
chock / stop blocks etc.
· Ensure that full PPE is worn in the excavation at all times.
· Suitable barriers must be in place around the excavation at all times. These barriers
act as edge protection & an exclusion zone, ensure that these barriers are placed 1
meter back from the edge of the excavation. Warning signage must also be posted
around the excavation to forewarn of the danger.
· Inspect the ground area around the excavation the ensure it is capable of taking the
weight of plant and equipment.
· Do not operate & any machinery too closes to the edge of excavations. Additional
weight of heavy machinery could cause the trench to collapse.
· Put in stop / chock blocks to prevent machinery driving too close to the edge of the
excavation.
· Store all material removed from the excavation at least the same distance away from
the edges as the depth of the excavation to prevent debris falling back in.
· Ensure that there is god communications / co-0rdinationbetween the machine drivers
and other workers during all operations in and around the excavation.
· Where combustion engines are used in an excavation, ensure that the exhaust pipes
extend clear of the excavation and that the work area is sufficiently ventilated.
A competent person must inspect excavations –

· At the start of each shift, before work begins.
· After any event likely to have affected the strength or stability of the excavation.
· After any accidental fall of rock, earth or other material

Welding Method
Page:84
Butt Welding Preparation
BUTT WELDING
Quality of butt welding directly depends on operator's ability, quality of equipment, and to
supervisor who is responsible from related standards. The process should be observed carefully
from the beginning till the end.
Before starting butt welding process it is important to check and verify all parameters. Every
operator should be educated and certificated.
The issues should be considered before starting butt welding process
• The welding environment should be over +5 °C, and it should be done in a sheltered area at
rainy and cold weathers.
• Pipe ends should be closed to prevent air circulation and fast cooling.
• Before starting welding process for coil pipes, bending must be taken away from the pipes.
• Welding zone should be clean and free of damage.
Butt welding method
The principle of butt welding system is heating the welding surfaces for a certain time and
pressure, for the pipes at same diameter and outer diameter. The joining area of the welding
components should be cleaned smoothly and heated up to 200-220 °C. Then they bond together
under certain pressure. Welding pressure, heat and time should be properly chosen in order not
to change the chemical and mechanical properties of the welded parts.
In butt welding method, butt areas is pressed on the heater plate, left at zero pressure until
they arrive at welding temperature and joined together under pressure (welding).
At good welding applications, welded zone provides at least the same strength with the
original pipe. To have a quality welding application; butt welding pressure, temperature and time
parameters should be set carefully.
Figure 1: Pipes for butt welding
Page:85
Butt Welding Preparation
Temperature on the butt welding machine should be controlled just before starting butt welding
process. This must be done by an infrared thermometer. The heater plate should be left for a
minimum of 10 minutes after reaching the set temperature. To ensure an optimum welding
quality, the heater plate has to be cleaned before every welding operation. Cleaning should be
done by a soft cleaning material and using alcohol etc. The heater plate (Teflon coating) must be
free of damages.
The joining forces and joining pressures have to conform the machine working instructions.
These can be based on manufacturer information, calculated or measured values. Moving
pressure is taken from the indicators of the welding machine during the slow movement of the
part to be welded. This value has to be added to the determined joining pressure. Moving
pressure may change depending on machine, diameter of pipe, and length of pipe. Therefore,
before every welding process moving pressure should be read and added to joining pressure.
The joining areas have to be planed before the butt welding. (Figure 2) So with this way pipes
can be exact aligned and have clean surface.
The gap width and the misalignment have to be controlled. Misalignment must be avoided as
much as possible. Even in the worst circumstance, it may not exceed 1/10 of wall thickness.
The trimmed welding zones should not be touched and allow for further contamination.
Otherwise trimming should be repeated. The ribbon of shavings and any other cut pieces must be
cleared from the welding zone without touching the trimmed faces.
Figure 2: Trimming pipe surface
Page:86
Butt Welding Process
In butt welding process, the welding zones are heated-up to the welding temperature by the
heater plate and the pipes are joined under pressure after removing the heater plate. The heating
temperature should be 200 to 220 °C. Higher temperatures are required for thinner wall
thicknesses, and the lower temperatures for thicker wall thicknesses (Graph 1).
Graph 1 : Required temperatures for different wall thickness
Page:87
Alignment
The joining areas are aligned to the heater plate until all areas
are plane-parallel on it. This fact is visible on the kind of beads. The exact alignment should be
checked by type of the pipe circumference. If the alignment was faulty, optimum bead height will
not be obtained. The alignment is done in duration T1 time and with certain pressure (P1). T1
time is depending on the bead height. Required bead heights are shown in table 1, column 2.
Placement of heater and bead creation can be seen on diagram 3 and 4. P1 interfacial plane
pressure is 0,15 N/mm², but this value is not the one that read from welding machine's
manometer. The welder should determine or calculate the manometer pressure according to the
instructions given by the manufacturer of the welding machine to get the required interfacial
pressure.
Figure 3: Placement of heater
Figure 4: Pressurized heating (alig
Figure 4: Pressurized heating (alignment) and shape of welding faces afterwards
Page:88
Heating-up without pressure
For heating-up, the joining areas must contact the heater plate, and pressure must decrease.
Pressure between joining areas and heater plate is nearly zero (P2 ? 0.02 N/mm²). At this time the
heat penetrates during pipe axis. Heating up times (T2) are mentioned in table 1, column 3. If this
time is applied less than requirement, the deepness of plastic part will be shorter than needed;
contrary welding area will melt and corrode.
Removal of heater plate
After heating-up, the joining areas are to be detached from the heating plate. The heating plate
should be carefully removed and the heated joining faces should be free of damage and
contamination. The joining areas should be joined together quickly after heating tool removal. If
operator delays at joining the welding joint quality will be insufficient because of oxidation and
cooling. Maximum time for this process is given at Table 1, column 4.
Joining
After heater plate is removed, areas aligned closer. There must be no strike or hit during this
process. The demanded pressure (interfaced pressure) time is obtained possibly linear (Graph 2).
The required time (T4) is shown in table 1, column 5. The joining pressure (P3), is 0,15±0,01
N/mm 2.
Figure 5: Pipe alignment and joining, beads appear under pressure
Cooling
The joining pressure (P3-interfaced pressure) has to be kept during the cooling time. After
process, a regular double bead must appear. The bead size shows the regularity of welding.
Different beads could be caused by different MFR (melt flow rate) of the pipes. K must always be
larger than 0 (see figure 6). Minimum time (T5) for this phase is given at Table 1, column 5.

Important issues at butt welding
• Materials to be welded should match each other

• In order to maintain correct welding parameters at high humid, extreme temperature and
windy environments working place should be protected against such weather conditions.
• Pieces should be avoided from direct sun lights to keep the pipes at the same temperature.
• Pieces to be welded should be cleaned from dust, dirt, e.g.
• Pipes should be fastened carefully before welding. This is required both for an accurate
centering and to keep the operator away from any harm during cutting and welding.
• During butt welding (cooling included), pieces should never face to mechanical force or
rupture.
• Other end of the welding pipe should be on a slippery surface to move freely. This is required
to do back/forward feeding without applying any force on welding area.
• Cutter tool should be at required sharpness. Knife of tool should be changed or sharpened at
certain intervals.
• There should be no deep scratch, notch, etc. on Teflon surface of heater. Surface of heater
should be checked occasionally.
Butt welding problems and possible causes
Page:91
ELECTROFUSION WELDING
Electrofusion is safe and presents high performance. In this method, the most important
aspects are the preparation and assembly geometry. Another issue to take care is the welding
energy.
Welding is done by heating resistances at muff section. After pipes are placed in the muff,
cables of welding machines are connected to pins of the muff and resistances are heated by the
electric current. The muff wall thickness is usually higher than the pipe thickness, as a result of
this, the heat of pipe wall will be higher than the muff wall heat. Pressure is formed in the pipe,
because of the heat difference. The pipes weld to each other by the pressure on and in the pipe.
In electrofusion welding, only pipes made of same raw material may be welded. Solution flow
speed for HDPE electrofusion joining is 0,2-1,7 gr/10 min (190°C / 5 kg). Pipes and muff's solution
flow speed should be between these values. The area where the welding will be made must be
weather-proof. Temperature around the welding environment must be between -10°C and +40°C.
Main reasons to choose Electrofusion Welding
EF is accepted as a safe, easily assembling system for pressured fluids by today's gas and water
network companies.
Technically, electrofusion welding is done after assembly and parts gathered tightly. Thus almost
no movement occurs between pipe and muff during welding.
Practically, all pipe sizes between 20-315 mm could be welded with EF. It is the only method to
allow pipes (diameter up to 125 mm.) to be used for long distances. Besides, EF can be used in
all networking building areas, connections under pressure, and in maintenance purposes.
EF welding usually does not require visual control after welding. W elding parameters can be
systematically applied to next welding process. Once conditions are defined, welding process is
done in automatic machines.
Generally, electrofusion welding machines have barcode readers, and the barcodes contains
welding parameters to report automatically to the machine. Most welding machines also allows
the operator to put the data in manually. Therefore a basic education is sufficient for electrofusion.
Advantages of EF welding:
• Pipe interior diameter does not shrink.
• Welding machines & equipment have low cost, easy to use, light.
• High welding speed.
• No pressure loss is considered at welding point.
Page:92
Electrofusion welding capabilities
While joining PE pipes with electrofusion welding method, PE made materials, such as
couplers, tapping saddles, reducers with resistant wire inside, are used. When electric current is
applied on resistance wire of the electrofusion fittings, heat spreads on a large area and melts the
material. Winding number and resistance values of wires are set in according to required energy
for melting the material.
Welding principles are similar apart from electrofusion fittings type or diameter. Required heat
for electrofusion welding, is obtained by joule effect of metallic resistance wires.
Figure 7: Welding area during operation
During electrofusion welding, the resistance inside electrofusion fittings is kept connected to
the energy for a certain of time specified by manufacturer. This resistance heats up the surfaces,
it touches and increase up to melting temperature. Temperature arises between 130°C - 250°C
during welding.
Page:93
EF Welding Steps
Pipe should be cut clean and smoothly from the welding ends, must be and perpendicular to its
own axis. If the pipe is not cut precisely, this results in contact between heating coils and the pipe,
which causes uncontrolled flow of melted material due to overheating.
Smooth and clean cut pipes are placed into electrofusion fittings up to the stops (middle of the
fittings) and pipe is marked. Scratch the pipe with a marker from marked area to the end.
Clean the pipe fittings' surface and scrape the oxidation with a scraper. Following, the internal
edge must be cleaned of fillings and the edges rounded off by a scraper.
Page:94
Pipes may have ovality if stored inconveniently. Ovality should not exceed 1,5% of the external
diameter of the pipe. When ovality exceeds this ratio fixing apparatus should be used.
Pieces to be welded must have clean surface, have no dirt, oil e.g. Electrofusion surfaces be
welded (coupler's interior, pipe and fittings' outer surfaces) must be cleaned by means of proper
fluids (industrial alcohol, acetone) and by soft, non-fuzzy papers. After the surfaces of pipe and
fittings are cleaned, they must not be touched.
Then the couplers is placed on the pipe and pushed until the leaning limit of couplers (marked
on the pipe).While joining, pipe and couplers must be parallel.
Page:95
Electrofusion welding ends are fixed after aligned with the pipe, and ends faced upwards.
Welding machine sockets are placed at the weld ends and prepared for welding.
After the ready signal is received from the machine, welding process is started having the
barcode indicated to the machine or having welding parameters manually entered. Generally the
welding machine indicates the welding time and voltage on monitor. After the welding process
ended, indicators move out.
Page:96
WELDING ERRORS AND REASONS
During welding pieces expose to inconvenient weather conditions

Bad weather condition during welding is an important effect on quality in electrofusion welding
as well as in the other welding methods. Above all, it caused to new faults by effecting operators
who cannot perform properly under such conditions. Welding under normal environment, such as
normal temperatures, free of dust, moisture and contaminations, will have direct effect on the
welding quality.
Unreleased pressurized air or gas flow in pipe, regional gas accumulations

Especially for maintenance applications pressurized air or gas will have various effects on
welding before or after. When a damaged pipe is cut and repaired with a EF coupler pressurized
pipe must be squeezed at both sides in order to prevent gas and water loses and endangering
the working site. It is important that no water or gas is left at the welding zone otherwise welding
might not be proper.
Low or high environment temperature

Air temperature (should be between 0°C and +35°C) at the welding site is an important issue and
direct effect on the welding quality. W hile deciding welding time in welding parameters,
environmental temperature is taken into consideration, and pipe and/or fittings temperatures are
considered to be close to the outer temperature values. If there is big difference welding might not
be correct.
Pause at welding operations

For some reasons, such as technical failures, energy cut off, electrofusion welding may stop at
half way before welding is complete. In this case, the welding pieces must be left to cool down
completely then the procedure could be started as it is a new welding. If the welding carried on
before the welding zone is cool quality problems are likely to occur.
Mechanical forces on welding area

One of the important issue at welding is to protect the pipe and fitting against any mechanical
loads during welding and cooling. If pipes are coiled, a positioning apparatus should be used at
welding.
Insufficient cleaning of the welding zone

Cleaning has direct effect on the quality of welding at both electrofusion and butt welding
techniques. Before welding oxidation layer on the pipe and fitting should be scraped out and then
wiped with convenient solvents. Cleaned zones should not be touched with bare hands.
Insufficient cleaning will end with welding failure.
Bends and ovality in pipes

PE pipes may have ovality and/or bends because of manufacture, storage and/or from various
operations on pipe. These pipes must be straightened before welding by means of using suitable
clamps and/or apparatus otherwise welding will result failure because of mismatch.
Page:97
Low voltage or choosing wrong welding time
To have a proper welding quality, correct pressure, heat and voltage must be obtained at welding
zone by using appropriate machinery. If required current (it is generally between 18 and 39 Volts
at electrofusion welding) and the other welding parameters, which are determined at laboratory
conditions, are not reached it is not possible to have a quality welding. If heating / welding time is
too long flow or burnt is inevitable, contrary when the time is too short the material is not yet
mature for welding. Both result in failure.
Using butt welding pipes on electrofusion welding method
PE pipes are produced based on outer diameter and classified in two groups: A (sensitive
tolerance) and B (medium tolerance). For electrofusion welding A group pipes are preferred, B
group is usually for butt welding. Butt welding pipes are not sensitive at outer diameter and may
create problems when used together with electrofusion fittings.
Mismatching of pipe and EF fittings, gap between pipes in EF fittings
PE pipes must be prepared for electrofusion welding according to the fittings to be used. When
pipe ends are not pushed in properly failure at welding is likely to occur. In this case melt material
will flow inside the pipe and/or close ci,rcuit may happen.
Pipe and electrofusion fitting made of different resins
During welding material between electrofusion fittings internal surface and pipes outer surface
must melt. Different resins will give different melting characteristics, therefore welding quality may
decrease when two different resin based pipe and fittings are used.
Problems arising from electrofusion fittings
Although manufacturers apply various quality checks at production the end user may receive
faulty electrofusion fittings. Ovality is the most common failure and using such fittings may result
with low quality welding and/or failure as one experience at using pipes with unacceptable ovality.
Incorrect insert in electrofusion fittings
Preparation is the most critical phase of electrofusion welding. Pipe ends must be marked before
scraping and cleaning so that pipe must be inserted in the fittings at desired length. Short insert
will result flow in the pipe and/or short circuit, contrary long insert will push the other part out by
giving the other part insufficient welding zone. In this case, from outside the welding operation is
considered fine but in reality it fails.

7.1 Precautions for safe handling:
• Protective Measures:
Put on appropriate personal protective equipment (see Section 8). Avoid contacting molten material
with eyes, skin and clothing. Avoid breathing dust and process fumes. Ensure good ventilation at the
workplace. Prevent dust accumulation. Pneumatic conveying of powder and pellets and other
mechanical handling operations can generate large static electrical charges. Dust can be ignited by
static electrical discharge. To avoid fire or explosion, dissipate static electricity during transfer by
grounding and bonding containers and equipment before transferring material. Worker should handle
the container with appropriate apparatus such as forklift and handlift. If worker feel stiff, should take a
rest sufficiently.
• Advice on general occupational hygiene:
Eating, drinking and smoking should be prohibited in areas where this material is handled, stored and
processed.
Always wash hands after handling the product.
