Gain Practical Knowledge About HDPE and PP Pipe Quality Control
Learn how pipe dimensions, wall thickness, ovality, surface defects, marking, laboratory tests, standards and root cause analysis influence quality control and problem solving in HDPE and PP pipe production.
This course is Part 4 of the Plastic Pipe Extrusion series. It focuses on quality control, typical pipe defects and practical problem solving in HDPE and PP pipe production.
It helps participants understand how to connect measurement results, visual inspection, production observations, testing requirements and corrective actions in order to reduce repeated defects, waste and quality-related production losses.
Who is this course for?
This course is designed for:
- pipe extrusion line operators,
- process technologists,
- shift leaders and production managers,
- quality control staff,
- in-house laboratory staff,
- employees responsible for pipe inspection and testing,
- employees involved in complaint analysis and defect investigation,
- companies producing HDPE and PP pipes that want to improve quality control, reduce defects and solve recurring production problems.
What will you learn?
The course covers:
- dimensional control of HDPE and PP pipes,
- measurement of pipe diameter, wall thickness and ovality,
- tolerance control and interpretation of measurement results,
- typical pipe defects,
- surface defects, geometry defects and structural defects,
- visual and dimensional inspection of identification stripes, marking and pipe surface,
- SCG, RCP and pressure tests,
- standards and conformity assessment for HDPE and PP pipes,
- typical operator errors that may lead to quality problems,
- prevention of recurring defects,
- root cause analysis,
- use of 5 Why and Ishikawa diagram in problem solving,
- improving communication between production, technology and quality control.
What will you gain after completing the course?
After completing this course, you will:
- better understand how to assess the quality of HDPE and PP pipes,
- recognize typical pipe defects more accurately,
- better interpret dimensional and visual inspection results,
- understand the meaning of SCG, RCP and pressure tests,
- connect quality problems with possible process, raw material or line setting causes,
- reduce incorrect interpretation of defects,
- improve communication between operators, technologists and quality control,
- support actions aimed at reducing waste, complaints and repeated production problems,
- build a stronger foundation for practical quality control in pipe extrusion.
