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.
An electrical heater plate is used Due to the low profile of the butt

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.
