METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FORMING A REDUCER FOR PIPES

摘要

This invention concerns a method and a system for forming a reducer from a pipe of polymeric material, said method comprising the steps of : cutting the pipe to a required length; placing one end of the pipe onto the top of a conical mould member in a bath of a heating medium; heating said end of the pipe by the heating medium in the bath to a softening temperature of the polymeric material; applying a pressure to the other end of the pipe in order to push the pipe to a predetermined extent onto the mould member; and cooling the heated pipe when pushing is finished.
