My Dad is an welder from 45 years he was looking for new job and they email him and ask him about HDPE. So he called me to ask what it is., English in not our language and my dad is old school welder so I look for it and find you video I sent him and he is like yeah I know that I did it before Thanks a lot for the video it helps my father to recognise it. He got certificates from schwing stetter, Germany in x ray welding He has like 34 different certificates only problem he can’t speak English :(

Nice demonstration but we prefer to use sand paper to roughen the surface it works a lot faster with 320grid on a hand belt sander you just run it around the neck of the pipe and within less than 10 sec both pipe end's are cleaned and read for fusion welding. Also when we do join pipes we keep a wretched strap pull both ends of the pipes together so that during the process they can not slip apart again. Once welding is done we use a wet towel to cool down the material around the fusion weld. This allows us a faster process to move forward with the installation.
