Installation Manual
Heat Fusion Welding (permanent):
The fundamental of heat fusion welding is to apply heat
and pressure for a specified time to the mating surfaces
to be jointed. The application of heat and pressure
under the correct conditions allows changing the
resin’s molecular structure to an amorphous state and
then fuse them together by application of prescribed
force until cooling occurs, returning the material to a
crystalline state and creating one homogeneous pipe
and also creating a joint as strong as the pipe itself.
A fusion of HDPE pipe and fittings can be by Electro-
Fusion, Butt-Fusion or Socket fusion.
Electro-Fusion:
Fitting Wire Coils
Electro-Fusion is a simple method of jointing HDPE
pipes in circumstances where butt-fusion is not
practicable, such as where valves, elbows and tees
must be added.
Typical Electrofusion Joint
Electro-Fusion is most commonly used for jointing pipes

up to 250mm diameter, but there is no technical upper limit.
Different grades and SDR’s of pipe can be connected using
Electro-Fusion, again only under controlled conditions.
Electro-Fusion fittings may be of different grade and SDR

than the pipes, in which case the lower rating (pipe or
fitting) governs the rating of the assembly as a whole.
Electro-Fusion is most commonly used in conventional

open cut trenching installation, and in repair works. It is
also used for adding new services to existing HDPE mains
by means of saddle fittings or tees. It is less well suited to
trench-less installation or rehabilitation methods because
the fittings protrude on the outside of the pipe.
Electro-Fusion fittings are available in a range of forms;

they may be straight connectors, bends, tees, stop ends,
reducers, saddle fittings and repair fittings.
p 62 SHIELD reserves the right to change the contents without notice.

Installation Manual
Butt-Fusion:
This is the simplest and quickest method of jointing HDPE pipes of any diameter. Butt fusion is a thermo-fusion
process which involves the simultaneous heating of the ends of two pipe/fitting components which are to be
jointed, until a molten state is attained on each contact surface. The two surfaces are then brought together
under controlled pressure for a specific cooling time and a homogeneous fusion joint is formed. The resultant
joint is fully resistant to end loads and has comparable performance under pressure to the pipe itself.
Schematic Butt Fusion Joint
An electrical heater plate is used Due to the low profile of the butt

beads may be a hindrance to slip-
lining operations.
CAUTION
Proper torquing of bolts of the machine is required to obtain specified performance.
Insufficient melt bead may result from an improper fusion joint.

Butt fusion Joints are stronger when the melt beads remain intact.
Butt fusion can also be used to fabricate a range of fittings, bends, tees, reducers, etc.

Installation Manual
Socket Fusion Joints:
Welding of HDPE pipes by socket fusion fittings where
the individual pipe lengths are jointed by heat fusing the
outside surface of the pipe to the inside surface of the fitting
thus providing a homogeneous joint and is mainly used for
smaller diameter range of domestic plumbing applications.
Mechanical Assembly:
Mechanical assembly is used for jointing where The fittings, which are used in gas and water applications

loads. Mechanical fittings generally include a Nut
stiffener which is placed inside the pipe or fitting Polyethylene Pipe
to ensure stability when the fitting is compressed.

These stiffeners are also designed to withstand
end loading where necessary. The fittings also
include gaskets which are compressed to effect
the seal at the rated pressure of the fitting.
Grip Ring Spring Washer
Insert Stiffener
The most widely used mechanical jointing methods include:
Flanged Joints (with Stub Flanges and Backing Plates) - HDPE pipes can be flange-jointed by using HDPE stub
flange ends in conjunction with metal backing plates and a sealing gasket to provide a demountable joint or to
match up with pumps, valves etc.
Butt Fusion Joint
Steel Pipe
Polyethylene Pipe
Polyethylene Flange
Bolt, Nut and Washer
Adaptor (or Stub end)
Metal Back Up Ring Steel Flange
Compression Joints - Compression couplers are ideal for pipe systems requiring frequent dismantling and shifting,
e.g. economic irrigation of larger areas by using smaller pipe lengths.
NOTE:
Dissimilar materials (PE 100 & PE 80) and dissimilar wall thickness (SDR & DR) can be jointed by Electro-Fusion fittings.
Only similar materials (PE 100 or PE 80) and same wall thickness (SDR or DR) can be jointed by Butt-Fusion.
Dissimilar wall thickness (SDR or DR) may not be jointed by Butt-Fusion.
Dissimilar materials (PE 100, PE 80) may not be jointed by Butt-Fusion.

back. Sheet 1 of 2 ƒƒ-d
SECTION V - HEALTH HAZARD DATA
PRIMARY ROUTES
OF ENTRY: X Inhalation X Skin Contact Eye Contact Ingestion
EFFECT OF OVEREXPOSURE
ACUTE:
Inhalation: Severe overexposure may result in nausea, dizziness, headache. Can cause drowsiness, irritation of eyes and nasal passages.
Skin Contact: Skin irritant. Liquid contact may remove natural skin oils resulting in skin irritation. Dermatitis may occur with prolonged contact.
Skin Absorption: Prolonged or widespread exposure may result in the absorption of harmful amounts of material.
Eye Contact: Overexposure may result in severe eye injury with corneal or conjuctival inflammation on contact with the liquid. Vapors slightly uncomfortable.
Ingestion: Moderately toxic. May cause nausea, vomiting, diarrhea. May cause mental sluggishness.
CHRONIC: Symptoms of respiratory tract irritation and damage to respiratory epithelium were reported in rats exposed to 5000 ppm THF for 90 days.
Elevation of SGPT suggests a disturbance in liver function. The NOEL was reported to be 200 ppm.

risks have well established legal requirements, potentially high risks).
c) Construction and HSE team to prepare the risk assessment plan for the priorities identified hazards for these
potential high risks.
1.2. Risk Assessment

Risk is the probability of an event occurring in a given set of circumstances. The ‘event’ is an exposure to hazard. The
hazard is the potential to cause harm. The risk assessment is the technique of evaluating not just the likelihood of an
event occurring, but also the outcome will be in terms of injury, loss, damage or harm.
1.3. Risk Assessment Process
The process of carrying out a risk assessment should be as follows.
1. Identify the hazards.
2. Identify who might be harmed and how.
3. Evaluate the risk and implement the control measures.
4. Record the significant findings.
5. Review the assessment and update if necessary.
1.4. Examination of the Hazards and Risk Associated

 Competent staff must be used in examining the risk associated with the identified hazard.
 Competent staff should examine following aspect to determine the risk involved:
o Examine the existing control measures in place.
o Identify employees at risk.
o Likelihood of risk.
o Severity
o Risk level and their tolerability.
1.5. Evaluating the risk:

Once the necessary information has been obtained on the hazards encountered by work activities, next stage is to
access the risks.
1.5.1. Risk Rating Score
Risk rating score is a combination of two factors.
 The severity of the risk that could injure persons or cause damage to plant.
 The likelihood of the risk that it could happen (Probability).
RISK RATING = LIKELIHOOD X SEVERITY

NOTE: Each activity has to be assessed for the risk value for determining the level of Severity and likelihood are mentioned in
the table below. SEVERITY
