What Is a Socket Fusion Machine?

A socket fusion welding machine, also known as a socket fusion welder, is a type of specialized socket fusion equipment. It heats the outside surface of a pipe and the inside surface of a matching socket fitting. Once properly heated, the parts are quickly joined together to create a seamless, leak-proof bond.

How Socket Fusion Welding Works

  • Preparation: Clean and dry both pipe and fitting. Scrape or chamfer to remove oxidation and surface contaminants.
  • Heating: Insert pipe and fitting into Teflon-coated heating tools. Heating temperature: 260–270°C.
  • Joining: Quickly remove and insert the pipe into the fitting while aligned. Apply even pressure.
  • Cooling: Hold the joint steady until it cools and solidifies.
