Welding Procedure
Page 9 31.05.2007
Welding Procedure
Joining areas must be dry and free of impurity. For T-joints and when build-up
welding the front surface of the upper membrane must be held slanted.

Welding Procedure Under Construction Site Conditions
Air Temperature
Welding procedures have to be stopped at temperatures under +5C
+5 C in
order to prevent high thermal strains of the membrane.

Welding Procedure Under Construction Site Conditions
Air H
Ai Humidity
idit
High air humidity might cause perspiration water on the welding surface which
is unfavourable for the seam strength (towel or pre-heat).
Wind
Due to strong wind the required welding temperature might not be reached. To
solve this problem, the welding temperature has to be increased up to 2030C.
If the wind is too strong,
strong the welding area should be protected
protected, or the welding
process has to be stopped.
Sunshine
Sunshine causes strong heat, especially of black membranes. This causes an
increased thermal expansion of the membrane and results in wrinkles. The
welding process becomes more difficult, and when cooling down abnormal strain
in the seam area occurs.
