1. Scope
Provide guidance for the training, assessment and approval of fusion operators in order to establish and maintain competency in the construction of thermoplastic piping systems.
No standard testing criteria for training butt fusion operators in the US. ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code wants this since thermoplastic fusion is now in Section IX of the Code. This will lead to more uniformity in how operators are qualified for field work.
