Definitions
- PE-X pipes cross-linked polyethylene pipes
- the invention relates to a method for butt welding of cross-linked polyethylene pipes (PE-X pipes) for using these pipes in industrial and underground pipeline construction.
- PE-X pipes cross-linked polyethylene pipes
- PE-HD pipes Polyethylene pipes of high density (PE-HD pipes) are characterized by excellent properties. They occupy a dominant position, particularly in pipeline construction for gas and water. They are flexible, elastic, corrosion-proof, electrically insulating and easy to weld. However, due to their susceptibility to notches and abrasion, they must be laid in stone-free soil; sand may be required. This sand fill often costs more than the pipe. Therefore, economical trenchless installation and relining by pulling the pipes into existing ailing pipes is often not possible. These requirements and restrictions ultimately determine the costs of pipeline construction.
- PE-X pipes Cross-linked polyethylene pipes
- PE-HD pipes high-density polyethylene pipes
- the notch sensitivity of PE-X pipes no longer requires time-consuming and costly sand bedding and also allows trenchless pipe laying with appropriate deep plows.
- PE-X cross-linked polyethylene
- PE-X pipes networked polyethylene pipes up to 63 mm have been used in the field of sanitary engineering, in the hot water and heating area, as well as for gas pressure lines and compressed air lines.
- the mostly long pipes are connected to each other using mechanical connectors made of brass or stainless steel (trade journal gwf-Gas-Erdgas, year 131, 1990, issue 10/11, pages 477 - 482).
- PE-X cannot be welded.
- studies by domestic and foreign institutes and pipeline construction companies have shown that it is possible to weld cross-linked polyethylene with uncross-linked. It was also found that PE-X cannot be welded to PE-X.
- Heating element welding connections between PE-X and PE-HD pipes achieved a welding factor of> 0.5 ("Use of the pipe material PE-X in the gas supply", member information Nov. 1997 of the Plastic Pipe Association eV Bonn).
- a connection is PE -X-pipe / PE-HD pipe without economic significance.
- the use of electric welding sleeves made of PE-HD for connecting PE-X pipes was successfully tested. During the welding process, the PE-HD is melted, the PE-X is only Strength tests have shown that this connection is suitable for the gas and water supply sector.
- Some pipelines are in operation ("The pipe material PE-X; pipe material properties, quality assurance and main areas of application", conference proceedings and lecture on the international Wiesbaden plastic pipe days in 1998 on 27. and 28. 04.98 and "Decision criteria for the selection of pipe materials in the gas supply", likewise ls from the cited conference proceedings).
- connection method with electrofusion fittings is costly with an increasing pipe diameter and is not necessary for the relining of pipe systems. Suitable because the electrical welding sleeves interfere with the pulling in of the PE-X pipe.
- the joining surfaces of the pipe ends to be welded are then heated to a minimum of 450 ° C with a heating element with a warm-up time of 8 seconds and joined together after removing the heating element under high pressure, the pressure being maintained until the joining zone has cooled to ambient temperature.
- This method has not found its way into the practice of pipeline construction, since no reproducible and no satisfactory weld seam strengths have been achieved.
- the object of the invention is to create a method for butt welding of cross-linked polyethylene pipes, preferably for diameters> 90 mm, which is characterized by the material fit of the connection, high weld seam strength, economy and practical relevance.
- the invention is based on the known butt welding method for tubes with a tube diameter> 90 mm.
- the pipe end faces of the cross-linked polyethylene pipes (PE-X pipes) are spatially melted with a radially toothed heating element, the temperature of which is> 420 ° C but ⁇ 450 ° C, with a heating time> 60 s, depending on the pipe wall thickness, that as a result of the local thermal disintegration of the cross-linked material structure, enlarged and toothed pipe end faces are formed, the integral melt layer of which, from the vapor or gas phase to the thermoelastic phase, contains all possible melt state phases, during the subsequent joining process under a welding pressure of 0.10 to 0, 40 N / mm 2 comes into contact with one another in such a way that the tooth tips of one pipe end face meet the tooth bases of the other pipe end face, that a connectable melt phase of this layer produces a mixed effect of the melt through turbulent movements on the tooth flanks in contact and a spatially distributed weld t generated with
- each radial toothed rib forming an equilateral triangle with a flank angle of 60 °.
- the center of the radial toothing and the pipe axes must lie in one axis.
- PE-X pipes cross-linked polyethylene pipes
- the solution according to the invention makes the use of cross-linked PE pipes of larger diameters only possible at low cost.
- the results can be used in the entire industrial and underground pipeline construction. An embodiment of the invention is shown in the drawing and will be described in more detail below.
- a butt weld connection is made between two pipes made of cross-linked polyethylene measuring 110 x 10 mm.
- FIG. 2 enlarged section 3 of FIG. 1 with an insight into the
- the PE-X pipes 1 and 2 are joined together by butt welding.
- the pipe end faces 4 and 5 of the PE-X pipes 1 and 2 with the radially toothed heating element 6, the temperature of which is 435 ° C. are melted with a warming-up time of 180 s in such a way that an enlarged and toothed surface is formed on both pipe end faces 4 and 5 with an integral melt layer, FIG. 2 is produced.
- the melt flows in opposite directions in the contact area of the bonding surface 7, which leads to turbulent mixtures 8 and to an additional mechanical mixing effect and leads to an increase in the bond area.
- the welding pressure of 0.2 N / mm 2 is maintained until the joining zone has cooled to ambient temperature. After cooling, the butt welding is completed and a material connection is established between the PE-X pipes.
- the welding factors achieved are 1, the conditions of the creep test according to DIN 8075 are met.
- the plate-shaped heating element 6 has a radial toothed profile 9 on its end faces, the teeth in cross section representing an equilateral triangle with a flank angle of 60 ° and the tooth height in the tube diameter range of 110 mm being 4 mm.
