Quality assurance device

摘要

McElroy has introduced the Guided Side-Bend Tester, a quality assurance device that performs a qualitative test for ductility in a fusion joint. The Guided Side-Bend Tester is a quick, safe replacement for bend-back tests that have been performed in the field for many years. With the new equipment, an operator can perform a bend-back test on polyethylene pipes. This testing method places the entire wall thickness into tension and gives assurance of the ductility of joints. The test unit is compact and requires a few common tools to conduct the process.
