Petro, P P

Plexco tested specific fusion procedures for joining Plexco-manufactured plastic piping and fittings to those made by other suppliers from different brands of polyethylene. The evaluations compared to properties of PE 2306, 3406, and 3408 and the relative strengths of various types of joints. The laboratory and field data verified that trained operators using proper fusion techniques can effectively join different brands of PE pipe and fittings under the specific time-temperature-pressure conditions required for the brands of plastic.
