The ideal environment for Polyethylene (PE) pipe is one where the temperatures stay at about 41 degrees Fahrenheit. While you can perform electrofusion welding operations at temperatures below 41 degrees, you may run into trouble ensuring there is no moisture, which is vital to stave off contamination. During the PE pipe welding process, time is highly critical. A maximum of thirty minutes should go by once scraping is done, or else the risk of pipe oxidation is amplified. PE pipe that has oxidized will not weld properly.

As for electrofusion fittings, it’s best to keep them in their bag until it’s time to weld. Fittings that have been removed from their bag for over thirty minutes may experience oxidation. Oxidation may happen in an unsuccessful joint, which means a potential loss of time and money.

If you’re worried your pipe may be ruined because of the exposure to the harsh ultraviolet rays of the sub, you may wish to look into the groundbreaking Fusion-Tech UV Black Piping by aquatechnik NA. This fusible polypropylene pipe has UV protection built into it which provides maximum pressure handling and temperature capabilities.

A proper fusion job site involves having the confidence that all fusion joint data is recorded with the utmost of accuracy. Proper joint data allows the tranquility of knowing that the joint fusion was performed utilizing current standards along with the correct pressure and times. Before tablets made data recording so much easier, joint fusion data required manual recording which is cumbersome and does little favors in boosting productivity. With the McElroy Datalogger® 6, all of this information is available at the touch of a button in one portable solution and can always be kept current with little hassle.

The DataLogger uses Google’s popular mobile operating system Android to record parameters of the fusion process, including vital information like heat soak times and heating pressure. Despite being a tablet, the DataLogger is designed for conditions where the environment is rugged. If conditions are wet, the tablet can receive moisture thanks to its IP67. Some of its additional features include two cameras to snap current conditions, a barcode scanner for simple fitting and pipe information data entry, and a wireless sync feature to simplify sharing fusion joint records.

Whenever the need arises to fuse pipe, you can almost guarantee that the name McElroy will be one of the first choices. With a history of creating some of the most powerful machines in the industry, McElroy is known for being reliable and getting the job done. In case you’ve missed our previous blogs about them, we’re here to tell you more about the McElroy Rolling 618 Fusion Machine and the Rolling 412 Fusion Machine.

The Rolling 618 is among the most well-known and popular of McElroy’s various fusion machines. It fits the space between large and small diameter fusion and it can fuse pipe from 200MM to 450MM (8″ – 18″). Some of its features include an easily removable universal four-jaw carriage plus an outer fixed jaw and skid that can also be removed if the machine needs to be used in a situation where space is limited. The 618 can also fabricate segmented ells with the option of DataLogger friendly mitered inserts.

As the first fully self-contained fusion machine to ever be built in the world, the McElroy Rolling 412 already has its place as a part of history. The machine has been improved and fine-tuned to the point that it can now be purchased with the option of electric or gas power. It features a wheeled chassis that makes the machine easy to maneuver.
