Pipe Fusion Joining (welding) :

Homogeneous, monolithic thermal fusion joint

Joint as strong as the pipe itself

ASTM F2620 -Standard Practice for Heat Fusion Joining of Polyethylene Pipe and Fittings

For HDPE butt fusion joints, two common fusion joint tests are available:

Bend back test –ASTM F2620 (Appendix X4) for wall thicknesses less than 1”

Guided side bend test –ASTM F3183 for wall thicknesses of 1” and larger

Recommend fusion joint verification and documentation by data-logger
