What is BS EN 13100‑2 - Thermoplastics welded joints about?
BS EN 13100 series covers non-destructive testing of welded joints in thermoplastics semi-finished products. BS EN 13100-2 is the second part of a series of documents that specifies fundamental radiographic techniques with film, which enable repeatable results to be obtained economically. BS EN 13100-2 is applicable to the X-ray radiographic examination of the heated tool, electrofusion, extrusion, and hot gas joints in plastics materials. BS EN 13100-2 is applicable to joints in solid wall pipes and plates with a range of thicknesses from 5 mm to 100 mm. It only applies to pipes containing air or other gases at the time of X-ray testing.
Note: BS EN 13100-2 does not specify acceptance levels of the indications.
Who is BS EN 13100‑2 - Thermoplastics welded joints for?
BS EN 13100‑2 on thermoplastics welded joints is useful for:
- Automobile industry
- Packaging industry
- Electronic Industry
- Toys Manufacturing
Why should you use BS EN 13100‑2- Thermoplastics welded joints?
Thermoplastics welded joints form a permanent molecular bond between the welded components, resulting in a highly reliable welded joint. Almost all thermoplastics are compatible. Plastic welding can be used on nearly any thermoplastic polymer, including the majority of thermally sensitive plastics.
BS EN 13100‑2 specifies basic radiographic methods with film, which enable repeatable results to be obtained economically and to improve the efficiency of X-ray radiographic examination for the in thermoplastics welded joints.
X-ray radiographic examination guidelines in BS EN 13100‑2 helps you to detect hidden imperfections and defects in thermoplastic welded joints which helps you to improve the quality of thermoplastic welded joints.
What’s changed since the last update?
