Title
Standard Practice for Electrofusion Joining Polyolefin Pipe and Fittings
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Oct 10, 1998
Scope:
This practice describes general procedures for making joints with
polyolefin pipe and fittings by
means of electrofusion joining techniques. These should be regarded as
general procedures and not
as a substitute for the installation procedures specified by the
manufacturers. Manufacturers
should be requested to supply specific recommendations for joining
their products.
NOTE 1 - Reference to the manufacturer in this practice is defined as
the electrofusion fitting
manufacturer.
The techniques covered are applicable only to joining polyolefin pipe
and fittings of related
polymer chemistry, for example, polyethylenes to polyethylenes using a
polyethylene electrofusion
fitting. Consult the manufacturer's recommendations for compatibility
of the electrofusion fitting
with the specific pipe or fitting material to be joined.
The electrofusion joining technique described can produce sound joints
between polyolefin pipe and
fittings, provided that all products involved (that is, pipe and
fittings) meet the appropriate
ASTM specifications.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
