Abstract: THE solvent cement socket joining of PVC pipe and fittings appears to be a simple and fast operation. In practice it can be but its very simplicity has eliminated virtually all latitude for variance. Prerequisites such as square cut ends, beveling of those ends, cleaning and priming of the surfaces to be mated, matching fit between pipe and socket, and complete familiarity with the joining procedure are essential in consistently producing optimum joints. After the actual fabrication, (he written requirements for curing and handling lime are not just a literary exercise actually the requirements should be exceeded if circumstances permit. In the effort to measure and stabilize the quality of workmanship, in 1969 the quality in.spcction department of the Wisconsin Gas Company investigated the use of x-rays to examine nondestruclively 2110 PVC socket joints. This method was not very successful. We could determine only two things: whether the pipe was bottomed completely info the socket and whether the pipe end was beveled. We could not detect the quantity of bonding material apphed to the joint or the quality of the bonded areas.
