What is PD CEN/TS 16892- Welding procedures for thermoplastics about?
PD CEN/TS 16892 is an international standard that covers the best industrial practices for welding procedures for thermoplastics.
PD CEN/TS 16892 provides guidance for the minimum content of welding procedure specifications for the following welding processes:
- Hot gas welding: round nozzle, high-speed nozzle, wedge
- Extrusion welding
- Heated tool welding
- Solvent welding: socket
- Electrofusion welding
PD CEN/TS 16892 gives technical specifications such as terms, definitions, Technical content of welding procedure specification (WPS), general information regarding the welding organization and parent materials, procedures common to all the welding processes, and a specific procedure to a welding process for welding of thermoplastics.
PD CEN/TS 16892 applies to the welding of the following products and semi-finished products made of thermoplastic materials such as sheets, pipes, fittings, and lining membranes.
Who is PD CEN/TS 16892- Welding procedures for thermoplastics for?
PD CEN/TS 16892 on welding procedures for thermoplastics is useful for:
- Thermoplastic industries
- Manufacturers and suppliers of thermoplastics and products
- Testing laboratories thermoplastics and products
- Entities dealing with thermoplastics welding
Why should you use PD CEN/TS 16892 - Welding procedures for thermoplastics?
The welding procedure is a specified course of action, that needs to be followed in making a weld. It includes the welding processes, reference to materials, welding consumables, preparation, preheating (if necessary), method and control of welding, and the necessary equipment to be used.
PD CEN/TS 16892 lays out various specifications for the welding procedure that covers a certain range of each essential/non-essential variable. It provides you with the requirements for welding procedures for thermoplastics.
PD CEN/TS 16892 guidance provides you with all the necessary information required to weld that is in compliance with global standards, and by implying them you can enhance the efficiency or efficacy of machinery and manufacture a standardized thermoplastic product of high quality.
