Control form: Pressure testing and documentation of plastic welding

How to manage your own taxes and bookkeeping as a self-employed person

§Master data for the weld

  • 01Date, place and identification of the welded joint (e.g. pipe section number)
  • 02Material type and dimension (e.g. PE or PP and sheet thickness)
  • 03Welding method (hot air, mirror welding, extruder or electrofusion)
  • 04Name of the person who performed the welding

§Parameters and course are documented where required

  • 01Welding parameters (temperature, pressure, time) recorded according to equipment and material requirements
  • 02The surfaces are checked clean dry and correctly prepared (e.g. scraped free of oxide layer for electrofusion)
  • 03A test weld has been performed and approved if the task requires it

§Visual control

  • 01The weld bead is even and uniform with no signs of underfill, porosity or burning
  • 02Any deviations are noted and a decision is made about whether the assembly should be rejected or tested further

§Destructive testing (where relevant)

TestStandardResult
Tensile testingDS/EN 12814-2(to be filled in)
Peel testDS/EN 12814-4(to be filled in)

§Pressure testing of the pipe system

  • 01The pipe section is put under pressure according to the established procedure
  • 02The pressure has remained stable throughout the test period without drops indicating a leak
  • 03The result (approved/not approved) is recorded together with date and person responsible

§Approval

  • 01All fields above are filled in before the assembly is considered complete and approved
  • 02Documentation is kept so it can be found if the collection is later to be examined
