Factors Affecting the Quality of Water Pipe Welding
Apr 22, 2022
The problem of water leakage in water pipes is rarely due to the quality of the pipes themselves, and most of them are welding problems. Here is a summary of some factors that affect the quality of water pipe welding.
1.Heating temperature and time
The soldering temperature should be controlled at 260-270℃. When the temperature is too low, the heat fusion of the PPR pipe is not in place, and the pipe and fittings cannot be well welded. When the temperature is too high, it is easy to cause blockage or affect the flow at the joint of the pipe. And PPR will become thin and soft and remain on the die, and carbonization will occur under long-term high temperature, which will affect the service life of the die.
2.Welding depth
The welding depth is related to the outer diameter of the PPR pipe. For a pipe with an outer diameter of 20mm, the minimum welding depth is 14mm, and for a pipe with an outer diameter of 25mm, the minimum welding depth is 15mm. When the welding depth is too shallow, the welding area is not enough, and the water pipe is not firmly bonded. When the welding depth is too deep, the excess part will be squeezed inside the pipe fitting, reducing the inner diameter of the water pipe at the squeezed part, resulting in a reduction in the water flow of the water pipe, and even lead to welding blockage.
3.Whether the water pipe port is cracked
Due to the low temperature brittleness of PPR, especially in winter, the construction site environment is often complicated. If no attention is paid to protection, the PPR pipe will inevitably be damaged. Before welding the water pipe, it is necessary for the plumber to check whether the pipe has been damaged, and avoid using the water pipe with the cracked port to weld the pipe fittings, resulting in water leakage. In addition, pay attention to the cleaning of the welded part of the pipe, so as not to cause the welding to be weak.
So choose IFAN pipe is a good choice, and our colleague are very friendly and professional. We can help you solve problems.
