New Standard Set for Ultrasonic Testing for Plastic Pipe Joints
A new ASTM International practice provides a standardized way for manufacturers and construction professionals to examine plastic pipe joints using sound waves.
The new standard (E3044/E3044M, Practice for Ultrasonic Testing of Polyethylene Butt Fusion Joints) provides a non-destructive way to identify flaws inside the pipe’s butt-fusion joints and to assess the joint’s overall quality.
