Overview of Techniques and Procedure for Plastic Pipe Fitting Mould Design

by Jacob Williams Hqmould - Plastic Mould Factory

Low-pressure components present in a pipeline are responsible to determine the overall operational pressure of any piping system. Because of this, design an appropriate pipe system is very much essential to select the exact fittings’ type to join piping components and obtain durability from the resultant joints. Today, you will find a wide variety of fittings, like elbows, couplers, reducers, tees, saddles and end caps, all of which are responsible to boost the overall application of piping systems. In this article, you will come to know detailed procedure involved in the production of plastic pipe fitting mould based on injection moulding procedure.

Procedure Involved in the Production of Pipe Fittings

Today, injection-moulding method has become popular to produce most of the small and medium pipefitting. In this method, experts often employ large size of moulds with the necessary projecting cores and comparatively less amount of clamping force. Later on, they fabricate and design large diameter pipefitting products by simply joining pipe sections, moulded fits and machine blocks. 

Electro Fusion or Butt/Socket Heat Fusion

In case of pipe fitting mould for pressure pipe systems, joining methods for various fabricated fittings involve electro fusion or butt/socket heat fusion. Accordingly, design of fittings facilitates the availability of additional material in various regions showing sharp geometrical variations and in those regions subjecting to a huge localized stress. For this, experts apply fabricating fittings from sections of heavy wall pipes and thereby, increase the thickness of the wall in various high stress regions.

Extrusion Welding and Hot Gas Welding

Along with this, a few companies involved in designing plastic pipe fitting mould use extrusion and hot gas welding techniques. However, since the resultant strength of extrusion and hot gas welded joints is low, it is usually not recommendable to fabricate pressure pipes. Instead, electro fusion fittings and couples undergo injection moulding or fabrication for socket and butt fusion fittings or manufacture by using pipe stocks.

Roto Moulding Process

Another efficient technique to design pipefitting solutions is the roto moulding technique or procedure. This is helpful in case of large size of PE fittings, like for instance in case of corrugated drainage pipe applications.

Thermoforming

Finally, a few companies go with thermoforming technique or procedure to design pipe fit moulds. This procedure is able to design sweep elbows, reducers, forged stub ends and other related fittings. As the name highlights, in this procedure, experts use a thermoforming tool to heat a specific section of a drainage or water pipe and reshape it into the required fitting shape.

Therefore, by following simple and easy steps, experts of pipe fitting companies design various pipefitting products to use a water pipes and drainpipes. For more information visit HQMOULD
