ELECTROFUSION
-sales and rental of electrofusion processors
-1/2-63" IPS and 3-48" DIPS Electrofusion Couplings
Here are some of the major benefits of our electrofusion systems:
- Extra wide fusion zones, extra long insertion depths and wall thickness
- Can be used with all HDPE pressure pipes
- Installation in the tightest space available
- Only a few tools are required, no jigs to hold pipe sections
- Direct heat transfer to the pipe through exposed heat coil
- Cold zones on the face and the center of the couplings
- Fusion indicators for visual fusion indication
- Bar Coded fittings for simple installation
Electrofusion Processor:
The universal automatic fusion control box has a computerized command system for fully automatic control and energy supply monitoring. Every fitting has a bar code label which contains the information needed for correct fusion. The electrofusion time is established automatically, adjusting for the ambient temperature as measured by an external probe. Simply hold the wand like a pencil and position it slightly in front of the bar code. Then move it quickly and smoothly across the label. You can read it from left or right.
The unit can be set to require a user password. In this way you can ensure that only trained personnel can use the equipment. The unit can also document up to 500 electrofusions in memory. Reports indicate the fusion date, time, ambient temperature, fitting type and size, user ID, and even the manufacturer of the part.
Electrofusion Fittings:
The fittings are manufactured with injection molded polyethylene with exposed heating coils located at the surface for maximum heat flow between the pipe and fitting. The Frialen fittings can be used for both high and medium density PE piping systems, and for easily repairing HDPE pipe.
Our electrofusion fittings offer the following advantages:
- Suitable for both gas and water hdpe pipe applications
- Thick center walls (15-30% thicker than SDR 11 pipe)
- Can be refused in case of electrical power interruption
- Wide fusion zones (at least 35% of the OD)
- Bar Coded for automatic electrofusion
- Large diameter couplings available (through 24" IPS)
- Large product line available (DIPS, IPS, Metric)
Scraper and Tapping Tools:
IFP, Inc. offers a unique line of mechanical scrapper tool sets from 1/2" through 28" IPS sizes.
The following products are available:
Integrifuse Scraper Tools-ideal for water and gas utilites. 1 1/4 to 12" pipe sizes. The tool will scrape the ends of the pipe for couplers and the middle of the pipe for tapping tees and branch saddles.
