 1. FIELDOFAPPLICATION- TECHNICALFEATURES
FIELD OF APPLICATION
The Delta BASIC SL-TM is an on-site welding machine equipped with a heating element for butt-welding of pipes and/or
fittings made of Polyethylene (PE), Polypropylene (PP) and other thermoplastic materials intended for carrying combustible
gas, water and other fluids under pressure.
The Delta BASIC SL-TM can weld PE100 with the “Dual Pressure” method.
The use of this welding machine is only allowed to trained staff having the qualifications required by the regulations in force.
