Criteria For E/F Jointing
• “Clean” surfaces (interface)
• Steady electrical / heat input
• Generate melt pressure
• Heat soak time
• Minimal tensile load / movement
• Cooling period

Quality Checks
• Ensure cleanliness of the joint area.
• Check around the joint area for visual signs of scraping.
• Check fusion indicators have risen.
• Check that no molten material or wire has exuded from the fitting.
• Check saddles are square to the main.
• Take printout of joint data.

Good Jointing Practice
• Check equipment• Scrape pipe• Use clamps• Adhere to fusion / cooling time• Check joint
• OPERATOR AWARENESS
![Page 32: Power Point on Polyethylene](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022081412/545bfc80b1af9f24728b4676/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
EF Fitting Failure Mechanisms
• Joint Failure >99% of reported EF fitting failures are a direct result of some form
of poor site practice.
• Ductile Creep Rupture–High pressure short failure times (20°C tests).–Attributable to tensile strength of resin.
• Slow Crack Growth–Lower pressures, longer failure times (80°C tests).–Attributable to SCG susceptibility of resin.
(All the above refer to failures during Hydrostatic testing)

Manual Input – Butt FusionGreat results when done correctly, however heavily relied on a good operator carrying out the job correctly.
Poor operators could – • Reduce time at each stage• Miscalculate pressures• Over or under heat pipe ends• Miss stages out, such as trimming• Ignore instructions for dummy welds
