ASME Section IX (Plastic Fusing)


Added to ASME Section IX's Plastic Fusing implementation into ProWrite allows users the ability to enter, store, and access their Section IX Plastic Fusing Welding documents as well as their welders from within ProWrite Welding Software.


ASME Section IX Plastic Fusing provides qualification or fusion procedures as well as qualification of fusers and fusing operators. Fusion as defined by the ASME is the coalescence of two plastic members by the combination of controlled heating and the application of pressure approximately normal to the interface between them.
