- ASTM F2620 (Heat fusion) standards
- ASTM F1290 (Electrofusion) standards
We provide qualification training on the following HDPE pipe fusion methods:
- Butt fusion
- Electrofusion
- Socket fusion
- Hot tapping techniques

Quality Assurance
Customers trust us because of our commitment to quality. Our HDPE Quality Process consists of several elements to ensure our customers receive the highest quality possible:
Inspection
All pipe and fittings are inspected multiple times throughout the fabrication process. We inspect heat fusion process reports, wall thickness, manufactured angles and cosmetic issues to ensure all the products meet specifications.
Traceability
A unique serial number is heat stamped for traceability on all fittings. Every fitting has a quality record available proving it was inspected and meets all standards.
Data-Logging
A standard procedure used for all fabricated fittings and specialty products to record all the critical data points during the fusing process.
HDPE Capabilities
Nonmetallic Support/Hanging System Flyer
Corrosion-resistant pipe deserves corrosion-resistant support. Our offering of Industrial Thermoplastic products includes an engineered, nonmetallic strut/clamping/hanging pipe support system.
