Butt fusion welding
This method is not applicable for small diameters pipes (≤ 40 mm) but recommended for bigger ones (>40 mm). It is a simple and space saving jointing method. The process consists of cutting the pipe ends straight and square to the axis and cleaned properly. The pipes and fittings are hold tight and pressed against a coated heating plate. As soon as the heating time and the required bead are reached, the heating plate is withdrawn from the weld faces and the connections are pressed together to form a permanent joint.
