Abstract: In 1980 the Research Department of Southern California Gas Company embarked on a research program to develop a better way to make field repairs on plastic pipe. We are seeking to reduce costs and increase productivity by streamlining this cumbersome field repair task. Through the program, we identified electrofusion as a viable alternative and contracted Battelte Columbus Laboratories to investigate the concept. During our investigation, several possible advancements over conventional fittings became apparant. These were identified as follows: Electrofusion fittings could be used in a smaller work space. They could help reduce excavation cost. They would possibly eliminate the use of cumbersome heating tools, Training for crew personnel would be faster and less costly.
