A. GENERAL ( BUTT FUSION WELDING )

Is the gap between the two single beads shall not be below the
1
fusion surface
2 Is displacement between the fused pipes must not exceed 10% of
the pipe wall thickness.
3 Is difference between two single beads shall not exceed 10% of
the double bead width.
4 Is no signs of damage (such as scratches or deep impressions
caused by clamps) shall be visible on either side of the fusion
5 Ia bead gauge shall be used to assess the bead width. Bead widths
shall be within the ranges specified in the below table and shall
be of uniform appearance.
6 Correct jointing parameters for the machine & pipe being welded
shall be checked
7 The generator shall be checked for sufficient fuel to complete the
operation. Ensure that the generator is positioned away the
welding area to avoid fumes. Generator used must be in
accordance with butt fusion machine manufacturers instructions
8 A voltage stabilizer must be used between the generator and the
welding machine to protect machine from voltage peaks
9 Maximum cable length between fusion machine and generator is
50 metres (Cable diameter min 2.5mm2)
10 Is the welding equipment shall be checked for:
 Correct plugs and sockets are being used
 The clamps must be effective in holding pipe square
The trimmer blades must be clean and sharp and the trimmer
must be square.
 The heater plate must have a control system capable of
maintaining a uniform temperature over the area in contact with
the pipe.
 The heater plate surface must be in a good clean condition with
no damage to the PTFE coated surface.
11 Is Pipe to be welded shall be supported on pipe rollers or PE
skids.

12 Is Pipe to be welded is on good condition free from surface
contamination and deep scratches .
13 Is Equipment shall be cleaned to ensure that oil and grease do not
contact pipe surfaces
3 Is heater plate is fully clean it shall be washed when cold with a
mild detergent and then rinsed with cold water. A dummy weld
will be completed every time the plate has been allowed to cool.
