Abstract: Electrofusion is a process in which plastic fittings are heat fused on plastic pipe by use of an electrical wire rather than a hot iron as a heat source. It has been reported that electrofusion has been used for many years to heat fuse polypropylene fittings on polyproplylene pipe being used for small-diameter non-pressure chemical drain lines. It has also been reported that in recent years gas companies in Europe have been considering the use of electrofusion for joining of polyethylene gas distrubuiion pipe and fittings. The Engineering Research Station of the British Gas Corporation recently announced that it had completed a seven-year project to develop an electrofusion system suitable for use by British Gas. An important part of the system was the development of suitable socket fusion techniques.
