checking and measurement of the oxyHAKA.GERODUR is also an active member gen diffusion barrier layer (magnification of the following Trade Associations: • SFF, Swiss Surface Heating and Cooling with polarised light) • 100% surface inspection before winding Association • BVF, Federal Surface Heating Association onto rolls • gas leak test after radiation cross-linkage (Germany) • eu-ray, European Association for Surface In addition to our own monitoring tests, Heating and Cooling samples of PE-Xc production are regularly inspected by the South German Plastics Centre at Würzburg (SKZ).

Jointing method The HAKAPRESS system ensures fast and utterly reliable joints with HAKA PE-Xc pipes. Of course, other well proven jointing methods can also be used. Benefits of HAKAPRESS • all round even pressing • all «wetted» parts made of brass are tin-plated • press-sleeve made of stainless steel, V2A • patented front seal against water from inside, or condensate from outside HAKA.GERODUR quality We believe that top quality is vital, so monitoring is carried out at regular intervals both by ourselves and specialists of external organisations. We perform the following inspections in our own works on a continuous basis:
