Decohesion Test of Polyethylene (PE) Saddle Fusion Joints-Evaluation of Ductility of Fusion Joint Interface by Tear Test (TS ISO 13956)

This test is a method for the evaluation of the ductility of the fusion joint interface of assemblies of polyethylene (PE) pipe and electrofusion or heated tool saddles, intended for the conveyance of fluids. A load is applied to the saddle of an assembly of an electrofusion or heated tool saddle fused on to a pipe. The ductility of the fusion joint interface is characterized by the appearance of the failure in the fusion plane and by the determination of the percentage of decohesion.
