A Practical Guide To Achieving A Perfect Butt Fusion Joint

Butt fusion is essential for creating reliable HDPE pipe connections in water, gas, and industrial systems. Here’s a simplified guide to performing a high-quality joint using the FX200 butt fusion machine.

Preparation：

· Check the FX200: verify hydraulic oil, heater temperature, and cleanness.

· Prepare pipes: face the ends smoothly and remove all dirt or moisture.

· Avoid wind and dust: these can weaken the joint.

Key Steps：

1.Clamp & Align: Secure pipes in the machine and align properly.

2.Face the Ends: Trim until surfaces are clean and even.

3.Heat & Switch: Melt ends at correct temperature and pressure, then quickly remove the heater and join.

4.Fuse & Cool: Hold under pressure while the joint cools completely—do not move.

Check the Result：

Inspect the bead: it should be even and consistent. A hydrostatic test can further ensure integrity.

Conclusion：

Good joints rely on High quality material, accurate heat, steady pressure, and full cooling. The FX200 helps achieve this simply and consistently.
