Can UHMWPE Pipe be Heat Fused?

When we use UHMWPE pipe, we will ask the question, can this kind of pipe be connected by heat fusion? Then the following to explain to you the connection of the product, with which connection will be better sealing, construction convenience.

　　Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe in the use of several sections of pipe will usually be connected together so as to meet the requirements of the shape of the * operation, the main connection method has a hot melt connection and flange connection. 

The following first say heat fusion connection, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe can't use PE100 heat fusion machine to weld, because the melting temperature of ultra-high pipeline is higher than the high molecular polyethylene, and ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene doesn't have the mobility after reaching the melting point. Molding temperature is also narrower. With ordinary heat fusion welding machine that welding a dozen minutes is not possible to weld the pipe interface, generally with butt or socket electric heat fusion welding, welding time is about an hour or so, heat fusion connection of equipment and materials pretreatment and operator level requirements are also very high, heat fusion connection is rarely used.

　　Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene pipe is commonly used flange connection, because of its high strength, good sealing advantages are widely used, the product factory, the manufacturer will be directly on the flange with flanges after flanging, there is no weld, will not be due to temperature differences Ambassador weld cracking.

　　According to the above text, we can understand that UHMWPE pipe can be connected by electrofusion, but with very little.
