This document specifies the general characteristics of, and performance requirements for, equipment for butt fusion jointing of polyethylene (PE) piping systems using electrically powered heater plates.
It is applicable to mechanical and pressure-activated equipment for butt fusion jointing of PE pipes and fittings either intended to be used for the supply of gaseous fuels, conforming to ISO4437‑2 [1] and ISO4437‑3 [2], or intended for the conveyance of water for human consumption (including raw water prior to treatment) and for the conveyance of water for general purposes, conforming to ISO4427‑2 [3] and ISO4427‑3 [4].
Butt fusion machines with an automatic controller are subject to additional requirements as given in AnnexA.
NOTE This document is also applicable to butt fusion machines for larger nominal pipe diameters and nominal wall thicknesses than given in this document.
