Imperfections in thermoplastic welds - Classification

This draft European Standard specifies a system for classifying imperfections that may be  encountered in thermoplastic welded joints during manufacture and provides examples of imperfections for the following welding processes
-   heated tool butt welding;
-   heated tool socket welding;
-   electrofusion socket welding;
-   hot gas welding;
-   extrusion welding;
-   solvent socket welding.
This document does not describe imperfections that may be generated either during service or present before welding such as poor fit up. The correct preparation (e.g. fit up) is described in the relevant welding procedure specification (WPS). This document is also not concerned with the search for the possible influence of these imperfections on the behaviour of joints in relation to the different types of stress to which the latter may be subjected or on methods for preventing such imperfections.
This document cannot therefore be used to determine the acceptance of welds, which is defined in EN 16296 [1].
Only imperfections giving rise to discontinuities of materials or changes in shape are taken into consideration in this document, specifying their type, their shape and their positions. This classification can be used to determine the possible origin or causes of the imperfections.

Unregelmäßigkeiten an Schweißverbindungen von thermoplastischen Kunststoffen - Einteilung

Dieser Europäische Normentwurf legt ein System zur Einteilung von Unregelmäßigkeiten, die während der Herstellung in Schweißverbindungen von thermoplastischen Kunststoffen auftreten dürfen, fest und enthält Beispiele von Unregelmäßigkeiten für die folgenden Schweißverfahren:
-   Heizelementstumpfschweißen;
-   Heizelementmuffenschweißen;
-   Heizwendelmuffenschweißen (E-Muffenschweißen);
-   Warmgasschweißen;
-   Extrusionsschweißen;
-   Klebemuffenschweißen (Diffusionskleben).
Dieses Dokument beschreibt keine Unregelmäßigkeiten, die während des Betriebs entstehen dürfen oder vor dem Schweißen vorhanden sind, z. B. mangelhafte Passung. Die ordnungsgemäße Vorbereitung (z. B. Passung) ist in der entsprechenden Schweißanweisung (WPS) beschrieben. Dieses Dokument befasst sich auch nicht mit der Suche nach möglichen Auswirkungen dieser Unregelmäßigkeiten auf das Verhalten von Verbindungen in Bezug auf die unterschiedlichen Belastungen, denen diese Verbindungen ausgesetzt sein dürfen, oder mit Verfahren zur Vermeidung solcher Unregelmäßigkeiten.
Dieses Dokument kann daher nicht für die Bewertung von Schweißnähten verwendet werden; die entsprechenden Festlegungen sind in EN 16296 [1] enthalten.
Nur Unregelmäßigkeiten, die Inhomogenitäten der Werkstoffe oder Formveränderungen zur Folge haben, sind in diesem Dokument berücksichtigt und zwar unter Angabe ihrer Art, ihrer Form und ihrer Lage. Diese Einteilung kann zur Bestimmung des möglichen Ursprungs oder der Ursachen von Unregelmäßigkeiten verwendet werden.

Défauts dans les assemblages soudés en thermoplastiques - Classification

Le présent projet de Norme européenne spécifie un système de classification des défauts susceptibles d’être rencontrés dans les assemblages soudés en thermoplastiques lors de la fabrication et fournit des exemples de défauts pour les procédés de soudage suivants
-   soudage bout à bout par élément chauffant ;
-   soudage d’emboîture par élément chauffant ;
-   soudage d’emboîture par électrofusion ;
-   soudage au gaz chaud ;
-   soudage par extrusion ;
-   soudage d’emboîture par adhésif.
Le présent document ne décrit pas les défauts qui pourraient être générés soit au cours du service soit présent avant le soudage tel qu’un mauvais ajustement. La bonne préparation (par exemple, l’ajustement) est décrite dans la spécification des modes opératoires de soudage (WPS) correspondante. Le présent document ne traite également pas de la recherche de l’éventuelle influence de ces défauts sur le comportement des assemblages en fonction des différents types de contraintes auxquels ces derniers peuvent être soumis ou sur les méthodes pour éviter de tels défauts.
Le présent document  ne peut donc pas être utilisé pour déterminer  l’acceptation des soudures qui est définie dans l’EN 16296 [1].
Seuls les défauts donnant lieu à des discontinuités de matériau ou à des modifications de forme sont pris en compte dans le présent document, en spécifiant leur type, leur forme et leurs positions. Cette classification peut être utilisée pour déterminer les possibles origine ou causes des défauts.

Napake v plastomernih zvarih - Razvrstitev

Ta evropski standard določa sistem za razvrstitev napak, ki se lahko pojavijo v plastomernih zvarnih spojih med izdelavo, in podaja primere napak pri naslednjih postopkih varjenja:
–   soležno varjenje z ogrevanim orodjem;
–   obojno varjenje z ogrevanim orodjem;
–   elektrofuzijsko obojno varjenje;
–   varjenje z vročim plinom;
–   ekstrudersko varjenje;
–   obojno varjenje s topilom.
Ta dokument ne opisuje napak, ki se lahko pojavijo med uporabo, ali napak, ki so prisotne pred varjenjem, kot je npr. slabo prileganje. Pravilna priprava (npr. prileganje) je opisana v ustrezni specifikaciji varilnega postopka (WPS). Ta dokument prav tako ne obravnava iskanja morebitnega vpliva teh napak na obnašanje spojev v povezavi z različnimi vrstami obremenitev, ki so jim spoji lahko podvrženi, ali metod za preprečevanje takšnih napak.
Zato tega dokumenta ni mogoče uporabiti za določevanje sprejemljivosti zvarov, kar je opredeljeno v standardu EN 16296 [1].
Ta dokument obravnava samo napake, ki povzročajo nehomogenost materialov ali spremembe oblike, in sicer določa njihovo vrsto, obliko ter položaj. Ta razvrstitev se lahko uporabi za določanje možnega izvora ali vzrokov napak.

EN 14728:2019 (E) 4 1 Scope This document specifies a system for classifying imperfections that may be encountered in thermoplastic welded joints during manufacture and provides examples of imperfections for the following welding processes: — heated tool butt welding; — heated tool socket welding; — electrofusion socket welding; — hot gas welding; — extrusion welding; — solvent socket welding. This document does not describe imperfections that may be generated during service or imperfections present before welding, which are due to poor preparation or assembly of components (e.g. fit up). The correct preparation and assembly of components (e.g. fit up) are described in the relevant welding procedure specification (WPS). This document is also not concerned with the search for the possible influence of these imperfections on the behaviour of joints in relation to the different types of stress to which the latter may be subjected or on methods for preventing such imperfections. This document can be used in conjunction with EN 16296 [1] to determine the acceptance of welds. Only imperfections giving rise to discontinuities of materials or changes in shape are taken into consideration in this document, specifying their type, their shape and their positions. This classification can be used to determine the possible origin or causes of the imperfections. 2 Normative references The following documents are referred to in the text in such a way that some or all of their content constitutes requirements of this document.
