Fusion Preparation Instruction
Equipment
1. Hot gas welding machine with nozzles (3, 4 and 5 mm quick welding nozzles, fan welding nozzles and tacking nozzles, profiled wire nozzles)
2. Thermometer, needle shaped probes, an air volume meter, an oil and water separator or filter (for air supply)
3 Plane, truing tool, miller, knife or spoke shave.
Joint preparation
1. Dirt, grease, perspiration and oxide coatings must be removed mechanically and apply solvent cleaner to achieve a high weld factor. Cleaning with a solvent alone is not sufficient
2. The sheets must be perfectly aligned and chamfered at 30°. This can be done using a plane, truing tool, miller, knife or spoke shave.
3. Double "V" seam in which welding is carried out from both sides shal be done alternately one side to another to avoid distortion.

Welding
1. Plastic filler rod shall of the same material as the pipe or sheet to be welded.
2. Before the welding wire is put in position the start point is heated briefly until the surface is dulled.
3. If welding polypropylene, scrape the surface of the welding rod to remove any oxidization.
4. Cut the end of a 3mm or 4mm welding rod to an angle of 45°.
5. Check and adjust the heated air or gas temperature and the flow ( refer to the fusion parameter table.)

Proper filler rod angle

GEN NOTES
1. This Procedure is not applicable in joining plastic with different classification e.g. PP to PE etc.
2. This Procedure complies the requirement specified in ASME NM as mentioned in Chapter VII of ASME B31.3 (use of plastic manufacturer welding procedure.)
