How To Prepare Your HDPE Pipe For Electrofusion Welding

Did You Know?

Proper Pipe Preparation is Key to Successful Electrofusion Welding!
When working with HDPE pipes, peeling or scraping is a crucial step to ensure a strong, reliable weld.

Here’s why: Why Peeling Matters:

Removes Oxidized Layer: HDPE pipes develop an oxidized layer on the surface when exposed to air. This layer must be removed to expose fresh material for a strong bond.

Ensures Consistent Fusion: Proper scraping eliminates contaminants and imperfections, allowing the pipe to fuse evenly and securely during the electrofusion process.

💡 Pro Tip: Always use a high-quality scraping tool designed for HDPE pipes. Consistency and precision in this step make all the difference in the durability and performance of your welds.
Remember, a little extra care in preparation leads to a stronger, longer-lasting pipeline!
