Electrofusion Units MSA 330 and MSA 340 - GF Piping Systems - English

Electrofusion Jointing In the electro fusion process a heating wire permanently mouled into the fitting gets heated by current at a low voltage. The surrounding material around the wire gets melted and expands due to the warming. The melt starts closing the gap between pipe and fitting, leading to a heat transition to the pipe which also gets heated and melts in the welding zone. The pipe material also expands. The increasing material expansion between pipe and fitting, which is hindered by the cold zones outside the welding zone, leads to a build up a welding pressure between pipe and fitting and a homogeneous welding connection emerges. Electrofusion jointing requires adequate technical know-how, which can be acquired in the appropriate training courses. Your GF Piping Systems representative will gladly provide you with information about training possibilities.
