Abstract:
A method for establishing by means of heat treatment a weld or glue connection between two mutually adjacent surfaces of components, for instance tubes, using respectively an adhesive material, for instance plastic, more particularly epoxy resin, wherein heat is supplied round or close to the weld surfaces for connecting, wherein in order to measure the correct quantity of supplied heat and prior to the heat supply a test loop (10) is arranged round the weld provided with a temperature-sensitive interrupter (13) and an electric fuse (14) connected in parallel thereto, and after the interrupter has responded as a result of the correct temperature being reached after a predetermined time a current surge is passed through the safety fuse in the loop, so that it is possible to determine precisely whether the welding has been carried out for a sufficiently long time and with sufficient heat.

Abstract:
A heat application member (5) for heat sealing materials together comprises a portion of resilient solid material (56) and resistive means for providing heat, the member being arranged to discharge heat through at least one location on the external surface (6) of the member. The member may be incorporated in heat sealing apparatus comprising a pair of confronting reciprocable jaws or may comprise an endless belt. A heat sealing method and heating circuit are also described.
Abstract:
Tube elements, i.e. pipes, shaped pieces and armatures of weldable synthetic material, are interconnected by electric welding. The welding operation is made possible by means of a welding sleeve (3) which is connected to the output (4) of the apparatus. A monitoring device (11) allows the engagement of a stage (7) of the welding circuit. The heating power is determined by a quadratic mean of the welding voltage of the network voltage respectively, in a pulse generator (9) which generates a pulse frequency depending upon this value. The generator pulses are added in a counter (10) and when the counted value corresponds to the heating energy, the stage (7) of the circuit is disengaged. If this value is not reached, a monitoring device (5) produces a failure signal.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method and a device for welding strips (11a, 11b) of a thermoplastic material. The heat supply required for welding the strips is adjusted according to the thickness (d) of the strips to be welded at the welding point, and is interrupted when a predetermined set point is not reached.
Abstract:
The invention concerns a device for welding an accessory (10) on a pipe (11) made of thermoplastic material. The accessory (10) comprises segments whereto are integrated electrical heating elements powered by a welding apparatus (1), via electrical connecting lines (21, 22), thereby enabling to assemble the pipe (11) and the accessory (10) by welding at their mutual contact zones. The welding apparatus electrical connecting lines (21, 22) comprises mutual coupling elements (28, 29) which can be placed in electrical contact with the coupling elements (18, 19) located on the accessory segments. In order to obtain a perfectly welded assembly with low consumption of energy, each of the two welding apparatus (20) connecting lines (21, 22) is connected with its respective connection line (31, 32) so as to obtain each time a combination of lines (30, 30'). The two line combinations (30, 30') comprise in turn two mutual coupling elements (18, 19) of different segments of the accessory (10), thereby producing a parallel electrical connection of all the heating elements located in the accessory (10).
