What’s the destruction test of electrofusion fitting？

HDPE-electrofusion-pipe-fittings

Destruction! The only way to accurately assess electrofusion fittings for ductile strength. ERA uses a tensile testing machine to test the tearing behavior of PE electrofusion fittings at a certain speed. Based on the experimental data, the tearing percentage of the sample can be calculated, and the external characteristics and location of the splitting can be observed. If the tearing percentage of the sample is relatively high, it indicates poor connection strength. If the tearing percentage of the sample is relatively low, it indicates good connection strength. In addition, observing the external characteristics and location of the tearing position can also evaluate the connection quality and fusion quality of the specimen.

The main purpose and significance of the PE electric melting pipe destruction experiment is to evaluate the quality of electric melting welding and ensure the safety and reliability of the pipeline system. It is necessary to ensure the representativeness of the sample and minimize the impact of the experiment on actual use. Testing a range of EF brands under identical circumstances was eye opening.... the verdict? Some big brands aren't necessarily better when it comes to consistent ductility!
