Thank you @ivey.mechanical for a successful installer training on an upcoming project! Here craftsmen are learning about butt fusion on the @mcelroy_manufacturing #acrobat160 During the training course, each participant of the training completes multiple socket fusion welds, several outlet fusion welds and as many butt welds as they wish until they are comfortable with the process, so that they ultimately have a successful installation experience. . THE FUSION PROCESS: The pipe fusion process is a widely accepted process that joins two pieces of thermoplastic pipe together with heat and pressure. . THE PRINCIPLE OF HEAT FUSION: Heating two surfaces to a designated temperature, and then fuse them together by application of force. This process develops pressure, causing flow of the melted materials, which causes mixing and fusion. When the thermoplastic pipe is heated, the molecular structure is transformed from a crystalline state into an amorphous condition. When fusion pressure is applied, the molecules from each pipe end mix. . THE RESULT OF HEAT FUSION: As the joint cools, the molecules return to their original form, the original interfaces are gone, and the two pipes have become one monolithic pipe. . #QualityMatters #Conception2Reality #AQT #greenpipe #bluepipe #redpipe #lilac #HeatingAndCooling #PotableWater #greywater #FireProtection #FusionWelding #WeHavePipeForThat #LEED #GoGreen #PPRFusion #PPRFabrication #PrefabricatedMechanicalRooms #EngineeredPipingSolutions #Ferguson .
