Butt welding pipes made of polyethylene

Butt welding of polyethylene pipelines is the best way to connect pipes because it is fast and has low cost. The company "ViK" for many years successfully used this technology for the installation of pipelines. All projects are carried out by highly qualified specialists in the shortest possible time.

Advantages and disadvantages of technology

Polyethylene and plastic pipes - one of the most common and popular materials in the field of modern construction. This is an ideal option for assembling water pipelines and gas pipelines to suit the unique properties of the raw materials. However, the main role in the assembly process is played not only by the quality of the raw materials, but also by the method of fastening the parts together. Butt welding is one of the most popular and not very costly ways of one-piece connection of elements. Due to this progressive technique, pipelines of any configuration and level of complexity can be easily laid. Pipelines that are connected in this way have high strength and perfect quality.

Butt welding of polyethylene pipes has the following advantages:

• no need to engage a large number of people and construction equipment. Two or three people are enough to do the work;
• no need for heat treatment and edge preparation;
• high efficiency;
• minimum level of chemical and physical heterogeneity;
• saving time - the connection of elements is very fast;
• reducing assembly costs.

Disadvantages of butt welding of pipes:

• the need for a large working area;
• inability to connect elements of different thickness.

Butt welding allows you to fasten the ends of the pipe with maximum precision without using fittings. At the same time, the seam has the same solidity and accuracy as the pipe itself. This technology makes it possible to fasten large enough diameters.

Features of the work

Butt welding of polyethylene pipelines is an easy and complex technology at the same time. For its implementation requires special equipment and qualifications. However, due to the fact that the technique is thought out to the smallest detail, the installation process in certain situations can be performed independently. The technology consists in fixing blanks heated to a sticky state using special equipment. The quality results are indicated by strong and solid seams, as well as accordance of the pipelines with the required shape.

Butt welding of low pressure polyethylene is performed according to the following scheme:

• carrying out the preparatory work. Pruning, defatting and cleaning all joints;
• mounting, and fixing parts with special clips;
• breeding blanks at a distance that is necessary to place a heating device;
• control of the accuracy of convergence connected. At this stage, it is extremely important to pay attention to the size of the gaps of the pipes being joined;
• heating and welding. Work is performed under pressure that corresponds to the area and surface of the pipes;
• turning off the heating device and connecting the molten ends. Products are pressed into each other and fixed in such a position until complete freezing. As a result, the material of both constructions mutually penetrates each other and forms a single integral product.

The experience of our specialists and the use of certified high-quality equipment allows us to perform all the necessary work at the high level. The price of butt welding depends on the material of the pipeline and the volume of work performed. We use a flexible approach in solving any tasks. We establish a personal approach to each client, which allows us to satisfy all his requests.
