The Development of a Novel Electrofusion System [PE]

The electrofusion technique far polyolefins, and in particular, polyethylene pipe and system assembly has many advantages aver heated tool fusion or mechanical jointing methods of assembly, not least of which is weld campat- ibility with different polymers especially where that difference is one in Melt Flow Index of the material . In the development of a new system, it is essential that already established design parameters and manufacturing techniques are not followed blindly. Let us make maximum use of the very latest state of the art in conjunction with the most up to date and cost effective production processes, in order to achieve further advances in technology and process.
