Q-Fusion

QFUSION electrofusion fittings are the outcome of over two decades of polymer engineering and field experience at Ghatrān Etesāl. By establishing a full chain—Design → Molding → Quality Control → Packaging—the brand now serves a major share of water, wastewater, irrigation, and gas networks. The fittings are manufactured from self-colored PE100 and carry a unique 90-digit barcode plus laser-etched parameters, enabling full traceability throughout the network’s service life.

Key advantages that set QFUSION apart

  • Human-error-free welding – Dual-pin connection to the machine and automatic barcode reading make the process fully automated.
  • Mechanical safety – A wide fusion area, PE-coated heating element, and a removable pipe stop in couplers prevent buckling or unwanted pipe movement.
  • Chemical and seismic durability – PE100 resists most acids and bases and remains stable during >7-magnitude earthquakes.
  • Three-stage quality control – A partner laboratory equipped with IPT (Germany) tests raw materials, in-process parts, and finished products to ISO 4427-3 and EN 1555-3.
  • UV-Shield packaging – Multi-layer cartons and antioxidant liners preserve weld quality up to installation.

Components of each fitting

  • Connection pins to deliver current to the element
  • Visual indicator confirming a complete fusion
  • Standard barcode with size, SDR, pressure class, and welding parameters
  • PE-coated heating element to prevent wire oxidation
  • Removable pipe stopper for maintenance and repairs

Standard installation steps (execution checklist)

  1. Square-cut and clean pipe ends
  2. Mark insertion depth
  3. Scrape the outer pipe surface
  4. Degrease with approved cleaner
  5. Insert the pipe to the stopper
  6. Fix with alignment clamps
  7. Connect cables and scan the barcode
  8. Perform fusion and allow undisturbed cooling

Table 1 – Size range and common QFUSION fittings

Fitting type Common sizes (mm) Primary use Short technical note
Coupler 20–400 Branching & repair With removable stopper

90° elbow 20–315 Angle change Uniform element in both legs
Reducer 25–400 Diameter transition Concentric design for minimal loss
TF brass-thread adaptor 20–110 Metal connection Water & gas versions

Standards, SDR, and operating pressure

QFUSION electrofusion fittings are offered in multiple SDRs to cover different pressure classes. Understanding the diameter ↔ wall-thickness relation helps select correctly.

SDR Max water pressure (bar) Max gas pressure (bar) Example applications
11 16 10 Municipal water mains, city gas
17 10 6 Pressurized irrigation
21 6 4 Vacuum sewage networks

Values derived from EN 12201 and EN 1555 for PE100.

Compliance with national & international standards

  • Water supply: INSO 14427-3, ISO 4427-3, EN 12201-3
  • Gas distribution: INSO 11233-3, IGS-M-PL-014-2, ISO 4437-3, EN 1555-3
    (INSO = Iran National Standards Organization)

Technical support & after-sales

For each project, QFUSION provides a CSV of welding parameters and a dedicated lab certificate. The technical team can analyze barcode-logged data to monitor the quality of every joint during periodic inspections.

Range of machines & accessories

Beyond fittings, the brand offers electrofusion machines, scrapers, pipeline clamps, and moisture-resistant barcode readers—all with predefined welding profiles for QFUSION codes to minimize on-site commissioning time.

Tamam Baha, as one of QFUSION’s suppliers, provides full product coverage plus pre-purchase consulting, shop-drawing approval, and hands-on welding training at the project site. The company is not the exclusive agent; customers may procure through other authorized channels as well.
