Welding heavy wall HDPE
Welding heavy wall HDPE
(OP)
Hello,
What would be the best technique for welding heavy wall HDPE pipe sections together? Our pipe will be 20" diameter and 3" thick. In the past we have used hot plates for smaller and thinner wall pipe, but I am pretty sure this will not be adequate for 3" thickness.
Thanks...I appreciate any past experiences or guidance you may have!

Some of the individuals may have published papers available.
They are UK based, but most of all the UK gas distribution network is plastic. Big stuff too.
