The saddle or sidewall fusion is used by heating the outside surface of a pipe and the appropriate surface to connect the saddle to the pipe side. The process involves an apparatus to assure proper heating, coordination, and force control.
Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 05/22/2020 -- The saddle fusion process may be performed when creating a pressurized "hot tap" should regulations and the pipeline owner require it. The pipe and saddle fitting surfaces are heated until they reach a suitable temperature which then leads to the heating device being withdrawn and the weld shaped. The method is complete after a refrigeration period.
We have options for socket fusion along with saddle fusion like the McElroy Socket Tooling. It provides an ideal fitting process and supports pipe fusion from 1?2 "CTS to 4" IPS (16 mm to 125 mm).
