Testing of welded joints in compliance with current standards
The quality of a weld joint is crucial when manufacturing a butt fusion weld in a PE piping system. Normec QS guarantees the quality of PE butt fusion weld connections by:
In its own laboratory, Normec QS has accredited facilities for the preparation and testing of butt fusion welding in accordance with the applicable standards. We can perform the following tests on both representative test welding and field welding:
By carrying out tensile tests, Normec QS checks whether butt fusion welds are strong enough and meet the set requirements. Its quality is measured on the basis of applicable international ISO-NEN standards.
In addition to destructive testing of butt fusion welding, Normec QS offers the possibility of non-destructive testing (NDT) of butt fusion welding. This takes place through visual inspection and ultrasonic ToFD examination.
