Machines & Tools - Socket Fusion
Socket Fusion Principles In this form of fusion jointing, which requires heating tools, the pipe end is inserted into the socket of the fitting; no additional material is used. The pipe end and the socket are heated to fusion temperature using a heating bush and a heating spigot, respectively, and are then pushed together.
Socket fusion Preparation:
Right angle cutting of pipe Peel and bevel using proper tool to ensure, calibration of the pipe end, removal of oxidation layer, indication of fusion depth
Socket Fusion Process Overview: Press fitting and pipe on spigot and bush Push firmly and without twisting Observe penetration depth Remove fitting and pipe carefully Push fitting and pipe quickly together without twisting Align and hold as long as the recommended cooling time lasts Do not pressure test until 1 hour after fusion
